LAST GRADE 3 and 4 SECRET CHALLENGE QUESTION: 

40 days of Lent is six full weeks (with six days of fasting... in each week) plus four extra days—Ash Wednesday and the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday that follow it because the Sundays are not counted. Six times six is thirty-six, plus four equals forty. And that's how we arrive at the 40 days of Lent!

THIS GRADE 3 and 4 SECRET CHALLENGE QUESTION: 

Name 5 types of art (eg impressionism)

Sentence Stretchletics  (see instructions on inside cover of Words duotang) Most students are now writing a sentence in pencil (with three circled words for the current Words list), then stretching it with a blue pen or pencil. I am expecting 4-5 changes in blue. A change could be an added adjective such as "sticky", "adorable", or "jealous". It could be a phrase that replaces such as this adverbial phrase replacing the word "later": "when all eyes had closed and the busy sounds of mice had begun." However, several students still need to do one of the expectations.
