We had a wonderful day today.  We are working on understanding figurative language that poets use to help us find meaning and visualize their poem.  One of the things we are doing to help us understand is writing our own poems.  We are using poetry to describe our favorite color.  I am really impressed with some of the work these guys are producing.  Tomorrow we will be talking about three different types of poems: descriptive, narrative, and concrete.
    We are doing well in subtraction with regrouping, and we are close to ready to move on.
    In health today we learned a bit about our eyes.  We read about how to keep our eyes safe and healthy, as well as how our eyes work.  We did a couple of interesting experiments, and looked at some optical illusions. 
    We had a pretty great day!
