First off, just a reminder that there is school tomorrow.  Also, for writing homework tonight please go on the website Penguins on Ice.

We started the day with Science.  We learned that:

1. An opaque object is something you can't see through. 
2. A transparent object is something you can see through.

We looked around the classroom and made a list of opaque and transparent objects.

For No Excuse Words today we did spelling staircases.  This is where students write the words in a grid format.  Here are some examples of the student's hard at work:

In Language Arts today we worked on the Nursery Rhyme Jack and Jill.  The students worked hard at filling in the missing vowels on the Rhyme below:

Finally, for art today we created colour collages from magazine pictures.
