Lots of hard work - Oct 15

Today we got to work on many of our regular activities as we had a full day working together in our class.

In math we are quickly wrapping up Patterns and will be starting numbers and working with numbers up to 10,000. 

In music we continued to work with our recorders and tried to get the sound of Si.  We had a much more harmonious sound than with the Do, but perhaps it's because instead of 9 fingers we only had to use two :).

In French we continued to write about which power we would choose if we were a superhero.  We should be wrapping that up shortly. 

In Religion we talked about the Feast of St. Gerard and who he was as a man and as a saint.  Tomorrow is the Feast of St. Gerard, it is therefore important to know who the school is named after. 

In Science we are continuing on learning about vermicompostage and producers, consumers and decomposers.  We will continue to work on this in the upcoming days.

Finally, in English, we continued to read Wonder and answer the questions pertaining to the book.
