Friday is a day of review and testing...phew! After our usual spelling and wordly wise tests today, we headed to Mrs. Driscoll's computer lab for keyboarding practice. Not long after snack, we practiced our timed multiplication facts, too. Remember to continue reviewing through games or flashcards.

Later in the morning, we added color to our adjective monsters and assigned them each eight specific adjectives. On Tuesday, we'll try to match adjectives to monsters.

In the afternoon, teams started to investigate the explorer trunks more carefully. Your teammates looked at each artifact inside the trunk and explained exactly why the artifact was important to your explorer. Your teammates will help you when you return.

We finished the day by learning about how the earth's crust is formed of layers. I made a model of it using jello, bananas, cool whip, and graham crackers. After we took turns changing the earth's surface...we got to eat it. :)
