We finished reading My Side of the Mountain and most of us finished our lapbooks.

In the afternoon, we watched The Three Piggy Opera performed by the kindergarteners. Lily and George helped by holding up signs to tell the audience to sing the part of the wolf’s song!

We had recess, then looked at our radishes for Science. They grew. We drew a picture of them and labelled their parts.

Today for Specials we had PE and we played Battleship.

In Math, we refreshed our memories of gallons, quarts, pints, and cups and solved conversion problems.

After lunch, we had the Department of Wildlife show us animal skulls. We had to try to identify what animal we had by using tape measures to measure the length of the head, observing its eyes and teeth, and whether it was an herbivore, carnivore, or omnivore.

After recess, we took the chapter 9 quiz on My Side of the Mountain, then read chapter 10. We then researched the animal that we identified the skull of and wrote a paragraph on our animal.
