Rosaries, stamps and Google Docs - Nov 21

What a wonderful start to our day.  We had the pleasure of working with some amazing ladies learning about rosaries, making them and even learning how to pray a rosary.  This took pretty much the entire morning.  Here are some pictures.

In the afternoon we did a bit of Typing and then started learning how to take notes while reading and learning about the mountains in Social Studies.  Oh... and the brand new stamp designs are now done and out on the bulletin board.  We have some amazing stamp designers in our class for sure.

After the last recess, we continued to work on our Beakerhead stories.  Many have now finished so I'll be making correction suggestions this weekend and we will be ready to put our amazing book together next week.  I am so looking forward to seeing the finished product. :)

Many students have also started free-choice writing tasks in Google Docs.  This is an amazing opportunity to see creative writing with no restrictions.  From the feedback I got today, Google docs seems to be a favourite amongst our tools so far. :)
