We had a busy and productive day today!  In phonics, we worked on our short vowel sounds, and in language and spelling, we practiced rewriting a narrative so that our paragraphs are more interesting, detailed and cohesive. We practiced adding three numbers in math class, followed by review for the Chinese test with Mr. Tung. We were able to take a class trip to the library after lunch, after which we dug into reviewing the first units in our science and social studies text books. We also checked out this website: http://asp.tumblebooks.com/library/asp/book_details.asp?Category=Story%20Books&isflash=1

At Tumble Books, the students are able to listen and watch stories read aloud to them. This a great site, as it highlights the words read, uses appropriate dramatic storytelling techniques, as well as listing the time, grade level and reviews of the story. The students really enjoy listening to these stories, and are encouraged to check them out at home if they have time.
