• In reading we discussed creating a movie in our mind, retelling in chronological order, and conducted reading partner interviews.
• In writing we discussed the importance of showing rather than telling emotions and important events. 
• We learned about early New Hampshire and the reasons why people first settled in our state. 
• We practiced subtracting with regrouping and solving word problems in math. 
• We had a Mystery Skype with a 4th grade classroom in Michigan.
• We blogged about "Silver Dollar Days" for Global Read Aloud.
