'12/13 Week 13 Day 4

Science was our longest class today. We started learning the fauna of Australia (rather Australasia) and we watched two videos that were very interesting. One of them about cassowaries was almost an hour long. Cool stuff though!

Andrew got a new portion of spelling words to practice. They should be fairly easy because most of the words fall into the '-all' word family we practiced writing last year. We also moved on to recognizing 'the verb' in a sentence. 

The best part of our school day was the choir practice, of course. Kids have only two more practices left before their Christmas performance. 

Tomorrow is our last day before the Thanksgiving break. I have a lot of things planned - things exiting and fun and educational. We will see how it all will work out.

No choir practice is complete without a few minutes (at least) on the play ground
