Today was a jam packed day! This week we have been preparing a Reader's Theater performance of a story of Christopher Columbus. Students did a great job of creating props and scenes and acting out the journey.

Also this week, we learned how to send a postcard in Grammar class. We practiced a few rough drafts and were assessed over the skill. But the real test came this afternoon when we took a walking field trip to the post office to send postcards to our pen pals in Missouri. Students bought cards and postage and sent friendly notes to our MO friends. Afterwards, students were allowed to buy a snack to enjoy.
