Week 4!

We learned a lot in our fourth week of school! We learned about the main idea and details of a story by looking through bags of goodies. The goodies inside were the details and the kids had to figure out what they all had in common to find the main idea. We also learned about action verbs by creating a verb action hero and having a verb relay race. We learned about magnets in science and practiced centers. To gain more practice with verbs, and to work on our writing skills, we did an Angry Verbs writing project. It was a great week!
