Hi my name is Rada and I am your daily blogger for today, Thursday, November 5, 2009. Unfortunately, this morning was not as sunny and beautiful as yesterday. In the morning Mr.McMurray brought us all to our classroom and explained what we would be doing at computers and library. After he explained the first half of the class went to computers.
At computers we first took our science test on weather then we had free choice. It was fun.
When the first group came back we all switched and the second group went to computers. In the classroom the first group took turns with Literature Circles, and we also did our Theme Skills test. Once the second group came back it was time for recess!
When we all returned from recess, half of the class went to library. At library everybody had to pick out one book with at least 150 pages to read for the upcoming book report. They also could pick out two free choice books.
Then the first group came back and it was the second groups turn for library. At the classroom we worked on our volcano brochures. At last the second group came back and Mr. McMurray read to us from the book called Bridge to Teribithia. It was great and we getting much closer to the end of the story.
Then the whole class went to enjoy their delicious lunches!
After lunch we worked on history about the European Explorers. We learned about the Triangle Trade Route between Africa, the West Indies, and the Colonies. We examined the differences between Spain's explorations in North America (gold and land) and France and the Netherlands' explorations (searching for a Northwest Passage to Asia and land).
In math we learned all about turning a fraction into a decimal and how to turn a decimal into a fraction. It was something new for us so it was really cool.
At the end of our marvelous day Mr. McMurray told us what we had for homework and we went home. As you can see today was an awesome day!
