1. had
2. not
3. said
4. pink

In Language Arts we read the story Mrs. Mooley.  It is a great story about a cow who wanted to jump over the moon.  We then worked together to summarise the story into a beginning, middle and end.  This is a great way to check for comprehension when reading at home too.

In Social Studies today we learned about Canada's first official sport; Lacrosse.  We watched the following video and learned how the First Nations people were the first people to play the game.  When french settlers saw the Huron people playing the game they thought the stick the players used look like a bishop's crozier (la crosse, in French) so the game was given a new name.

In Math today we had lots of fun making towers out of 3D objects.  Check out the pics below:
