Marvelous Monday

What a busy day!  We went to music and IMC.  We had a code blue drill and a shelter in place drill.  We took our spelling test and learned about when to use better and best.  We introduced our vocabulary words: descendants, sanctuary, glistening, threatened, coaxing, fragile and habitat.  We talked about cause and effect relationships and listened to the story, "Wild Horses."
