Ben continues to learn and practice cursive letters. He did well on a subject-verb activity that required him to know whether to add s or es. Ben added pictures to the text he wrote last week describing which totem animals he chose and why. He enjoyed listening to the story 'Bartholomew and the Oobleck'. In the story, the king orders his magicians to create a new substance to fall from the sky called oobleck. Ben made oobleck and then described the steps to make it, and wrote how each sense perceived it and a series of adjectives describing the oobleck.
