Highlights 

We started the day with morning challenge. The students were given a picture and a list of unfinished sentences that only included the subject. They had to finish the sentences by adding the predicate. We then had math. We're working on a wrap up activity for the unit on numbers to 1000. We had music and gym today. After gym, we had spelling and daily 5. We all did work on writing for daily 5 today. The students are working on a piece of writing called, "The Best Day Ever!' After lunch, we worked on language arts. We discussed capitalization of proper nouns. We then wrote sentences about those landmarks using descriptive language. We also continued our work on the different genre's or writing. Today's lesson focused on persuasive writing/opinion writing. At the end of the day we had social studies. We continued to learn about India. We had a lot of questions about the Taj Mahal today.
