We had specials and we had the spelling test and math test about time and money. We had reading with the principal. At social studies we were starting a menu as if it was in the middle ages.

Today when we went to social studies Mrs. Gagea wasn't there, so we had a substitute. We watched Word Girl at the end of the day. Ms. Flores' daughter, Veronica, came today. Otherwise stuff today was pretty normal. This update is from Zoie Burke, see you next time. :)

From Ms. Flores- The class experimented with two musical instruments today, a "string beam" and a kalimba. Ask your student what a kalimba is!

Today we participated in the Word Girl Definition Competition. As a class, we scored 100% and didn't miss a single question! Three schools were drawn from all of the schools that registered for the competition and they won prizes. We crossed our fingers, but Desert Cove was not one of the prize winners. Regardless, we had a fun time and learned some great vocabulary in the process.
