We've had a full week of school, and here are the highlights, according to the students in the class:
- the grammar lesson about prepositions that used two cups, some water, and a knife (ask for details)
- the grammar lesson about transitive and intransitive verbs using a Koosh ball, pine cones, and lying in the grass (ask for details)
- the art lesson where everyone traced their bodies and wrote and/or drew pictures inside to reveal themselves
- the first vocab test--the story especially
- the Jump In Jump Out ice breaker activity
- recess and PE, of course
- smelling real cinnamon (the bark)
- the social studies story Why Did They Take the Trek?
- the discovery of Greenland, Newfoundland, and Vinland ("Wineland") so long ago that we still know something about even though it was forgotten for so long
