We gave our own opinion/claim, referring back to the text for evidence, and writing an example/explanation that connects the evidence to our opinion!

Coming back from recess, we continued with math and applied the distributive property to solve for the area of irregular plane shapes/spaces!
After lunch, we read a bit of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and noticed & noted any signposts!
Near the end of the day, we worked on sportsmanship and social skills during PE!
Cheers, y'all!
