Wow! I don't know about everyone else, but I am exhausted after today. This morning we were joined by Mr. Ingram from NIPSCO. He demonstrated and explained for us the dangers of not being careful with the electric wires that run outside of our homes. We also learned the answer to one of life's little mysteries...why don't birds get electrocuted? Then, in the afternoon, the students performed their songs for the whole school. They did a wonderful job, but I was really impressed by the evening performance. Everyone participated and did their personal best. I'm sure all of their families were so proud of them...I know I was.
This week we worked a lot on synonyms, antonyms, and idioms. We learned a lot of new words and phrases that will help make us all (myself included) better readers and writers. Next week, we are going to practice our presentation speaking by reading a collection of Christmas scripts. It'll be fun to practice reading with expression!
On the topic of reading...If you check out the comments section of my last post, a former student made some great recommendations. I have already purchased the first book in one of the series for the classroom library.
Have a wonderful and restful weekend!
