Today, after Morning Work Time, we had a short morning meeting, and then got ready for the big Read-a-thon Celebration. Once we got down to the gym, the kids were entralled. It was really quite a production - the big kids did a super job with their Wizard of Oz skit, and then Mr. Cadotte flew on the witch's broom! The kids all thought that it was pretty cool.
After the assembly, the kids had been sitting so long that we went out to play on the playground for a bit.
When we got back in, we had math class. We continued our discussion of three-dimensional shapes - today we talked about rectangular prisms, and brainstormed a list of things that are that shape, and again figured out what the essential attributes of a rectangular prism are.
After all that, I handed out the prizes from the Read-a-thon, and then we headed home!
