Ahhh...sunny days at last! By the end of last week we were all tired of having indoor recess. This is the time of year when it just feels good to have the sun shining on your face :)
I'm keeping an eye on the rain that's supposed to be here at the end of the week. If it ends up raining on Thursday, we'll reschedule our field trip to Rural Hill as the activities are all outdoors.
Speaking of field trips, I hope that your kids will be able to join us for the biggest field trip ever...Camp Mariner! Both Mrs. Hudson and I will be there (wouldn't miss it!) and are looking forward to all of the fun and learning.
Another date that's coming up fast is our Mariner 5K on Saturday, March 21st. I hope that some of you will join us to run or walk...I'll be there walking! FYI...there's a prize for the class with the most student participation, so get your kids out there!!!
This week in Literacy we're working on paying attention to the language that signals new learning when we read. When we think things like, "I never knew that", or "that surprises me", as we read, we're learning something new. We also are talking about misconceptions and how we sometimes think we know something and then find out its wrong.
In 4th grade Social Studies we're learning about the War of 1812, James Madison, and Andrew Jackson. We'll wrap up our unit on Early American History next week, and will do the assessment on the 21st.
In 5th grade Social Studies we're spending most of our time this week preparing for our trip to JA Biztown. Don't forget to send in permission slips!
Have a blessed week!
