Today was so fun CSI was the best. Action reaction was fun too. ECH

Today was an amazing day! We had so much fun solving a mysterious crime in the classroom during a detective activity. It was a really cool day!!!!!!!!! CJG

Today the first thing we did was something called action and reaction where we would all stand in a circle and do whatever the person next to you said they were doing, after that we did  logic problem that by the way, was very hard. After the logic problem we watched a short film about drawing a train track next to a road with some buildings on the side.VDD
We did forensics today it was a thief mystery. A red spill was on the floor the red spill looked like blood. There were also finger prints on the book shelf. Also a table, a chair and a book were knocked over.
We did a thing called food planet where there were two teams and you had to figure out. Who was on which team of a cooking contest and who got first place second place . Also we had to figure out who made what. M.G.S
Today we drew a road like real artist.I like this new class.M.C.
