Writing: We wrote persuasive essays on why you should vote for them to be President.

This week we have been working on making inferences, main ideas and supporting details, telling time (O'clock & half past).  We turned liquid cream into solid butter; read about and took notes on "gas".  We finished our unit on the Continent "Asia" by eating on a mat with chopsticks rice, won tons, and sweet & sour sauce.  We even had a fortune cookie.  Then the students made their post card of touring Asia.  Finally we  took a number sense test.  We had a great week!
