Science EXperiment: What does salt do to slugs?

Recess: We enjoyed the lovely sunshine!

Lesson: Letter "X" likes to borrow letter "Z's" sound sometimes. Letter "X" is shy about his sound and so it usually comes at the end of or in the middle of words. We thought of some rhyming "X" words such as fox & box and mix & fix.

Art: "X-Ray" Painting

Writing: Practiced our "X's"
