3. We played Jeopardy in Science to review what we learned about magnetism. Team 1, won it all! GS & AA
4. We just got our new words in word study. We did not have a spelling test, but we are trying to use these spelling patterns in our writing. KC & FH

7. We have new math partners! Ask us about them! CV

11. In Ida B, we just found out Ida B's mom has cancer. Her mom has lumps under her arm. Ida B is scared that her mom will die and leave her, but her mom told her, "I will always be with you no matter what." Ida B has to stand up and start helping around the house. She is also going to have to grow up quicker. AN, FD, RB
12. In writing we started to learn about timelines to help us plan out our story. Timelines are helpful to eliminate parts that aren't interesting. They are also helpful in adding events in the order they happened. KC
