ASSEMBLY
We had a short assembly this morning where we celebrated birthdays and had a few quick announcements.

FRENCH
The students wrote their Zoo animal quizzes and did quite well. Many knew that the bonus sentences:
Il est jaune, brun, et moyen.
Il a une criniere.
described a lion.

MATH
We reviewed writing division word problems. These are tricky as the students need to make sure they can divide the item they choose into groups that make sense. Dividing a dog into legs just doesn't work.

An example of a good division story problem might be:

There were 15 dogs. There were 5 kennels. How many dogs would go in each kennel?

15 ÷ 3 = 5

OR

There were 6 pizzas. There were 2 delivery trucks. How many pizzas did each truck deliver?

6 ÷ 2 = 3

SHOW & SHARE
Today we saw baby pictures and a special hat that were special items about memorable moments.

ART
We made butterflies using mirror images of our names. The students also listened to another chapter in our "39 Clues" book.

* The first part of the book orders arrived today. We are expecting another box soon.
