Emma and Riley made the announcement at morning prayer about our upcoming school supply drive.  The drive will be held next week!  Please bring new school supplies to support other schools in our diocese! 

The kids made their membranes today!  They had to sketch their designs, then decide on one final design with their group.  They also had to write their justification for choosing that design.  Then we assembled our membranes and poured our water.  We are going to be looking for less than 1/4 cup of water in the bottom after 24 hours!  

We multiplied with the expanded form today.  The kids did quite well! We didn't have time to finish the entire practice, so we'll wrap it up tomorrow morning!

For language arts centers today we worked in 4 groups again.  One group held vocabulary conversations, one group worked with me on a mini lesson, one group had independent sentence practice, and the final group read a short story and practiced identifying theme.  

No homework tonight other than to study spelling words!
