FRIDAY
    For P.E we did sit and reach and our goal was to get a personal record. In math we played the integers games with the second graders. After recess we went to Mr. Browns class and took our student generated social studies quiz. Then we did a writing gallery walk and everyone walked around and looked at people's writing a drawing.

MONDAY
    In P.E we started our football unit. We changed our Monday schedule because lots of people have instrumental music in the afternoon so all afternoon we had work time and not lessons. We also had a fire drill, but luckily it was just a drill.
 
TUESDAY
   We did P.E outside for the first time and we worked on passing the football. In math we did adding and subtracting positive and negative fractions. We were reading non-fiction articles and practiced taking notes. In Mr. Brown's class we read the outline of the social studies project on Native Americans. In IDW we had the option to do story writing poem writing or Inktober.
