We started our day, as we usually do, with a little reading followed by our morning message, when suddenly, we realized that our morning message had been hijacked-- by mice! They erased key words in our message and replaced them with comments about cheese! So we spent the rest of the morning writing responses to the mice in our journals. After recess, we had Music, followed by gym, where we played two exciting versions of the game "Blob Tag". After lunch, we did some dot art, by cutting dots out of coloured pieces of paper and gluing them down to form a picture! We finished the day with a drama activity, where we acted out scenarios involving how to listen to others with our whole bodies (i.e. eyes, ears, mouth, hands, and feet are all ready to listen).

Daily Challenge:
Today, we learned about listening with our whole bodies. Why is this important? What can we do if someone near us is distracting us and making it hard for us to listen?
