     We have been reading the novel Secret of Nimh, if you can believe it, since the beginning of the year. It is a pretty long book and we do not read every day so, I guess that is why we are still not finished. Don't be mistaken, we are really enjoying it and today we saw some really cool videos about the characters in the book. Below you will find a link to check out these cool videos. The students really want to show you the neat things these amazing mammals can do! 3G is reading the chapter called The Maze. Do you remember who was in the maze?(Nicodemus) What was happening to him? 3M is almost finished the book we had a great whole group discussion today about the book, the characters, and the problems they have faced throughout the novel. I think it is safe to say that both classes will be sad to see it end! Today in Social Studies we continued to look at maps. What is the name of the type of map we looked at today? (Grid map) What makes it different from other maps we have looked at? We finished our afternoon with our class going down to the computer lab with Mr. McCallum. What are you guys up to down there?? Mr. McCallum is a pretty talented guy especially when it comes to technology! I bet he is teaching you some pretty cool tricks! Don't forget to dress warm boys and girls as the weather is changing fast! So be sure to bring your hat, mittens, and ski pants each day to school! Have a great evening boys, girls, and families!! Here is the links to the videos we watched today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma8HCM3Z5Ichttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
