 Hi parents,

We had another good day today. In the morning we continued our work around 'dialogue', by revisiting the talk we had yesterday about adverbs. Today we discussed how adverbs are not only great at enhancing dialogue in writing, but also at enhancing any verb and making it more descriptive. We're in the process of compiling a list of adverbs, which, once it is completed, can be glued into everyone's writing books for easy access. Here's what we have so far: 

Aggressively

Anxiously

Badly

Bravely

Cautiously

Cheerfully

Cowardly

Creatively

Creepily

Deeply

Efficiently

Enthusiastically

Fastly

Finally

Futuristically

Gracefully

Gullibly

Hastily

Hauntingly

Hungrily

Importantly

Kindly

Mindedly

Mockingly

Nightmarishly

Noisily

Overcautiously

Peacefully

Physically

Proudly

Recently

Roughly

Safely

Scarcely

Senselessly

Slowly

Smoothly

In social studies, we continued learning about India, and turned our attention to the concept of Quality of Life. We spent a long time discussing this concept, and the factors that contribute to it. The students were quite insightful. We debated the importance of 'wants', and what 'really matters' in life, which led to some really interesting points.

In math, we relearned how to play the Math game "Dungeon Dice", which involves multiplication and division and is basically a simplified Dungeons and Dragons. 

We had Music, and more students gave their novel study presentations.

Since we don't have school on Friday, the spelling quiz will be tomorrow. Good luck!
