This week in Team Spencer we made a lot of changes to our class government.  In our government, we have been studying the Executive, Judicial, and Legislative branches of government.  We have already created a class constitution and experienced a court case.  This week we decided to add a department of Treasury and begin to print our own money.  We also had Judge Rhonda Craig (Spencer's mom) come in and talk about the judicial branch and play fun law games with us.  As we get more and more proficient with the computer, we need to practise how to write letters and emails.  We have been working hard to learn all of the writing rules and formats.  This week Zoey taught us all about saltwater aquarium fish and then challenged us to identify them.  It was tough, but we figured it out.  A professor of play came to work with us on Friday with social and team building games.  In Math we continued measuring out all the pieces we will need to make the drawers we are building.  This week we are focusing on how to double check our measurements based on what we know about rectangles and the best practices for measuring them.  We hope to be getting the wood by next week!
