LA: Today was our long morning to get a lot done...and that we did! We took some time to work on themes in stories, specifically ours this week. It was fun to explore the story's theme, "It's okay to be yourself, even if you're different." What a great life lesson for all of us. We also worked on sorting our spelling words by syllable, reading in our leveled readers, working on our Easter Egg Hunt writing and visiting with our reading buddies. We were busy!
HW: Weekly homework is due first thing tomorrow. Also-the bibliography paper with the first two works cited needs to be turned in along with the green paper and a parent signature.
Math: More work with area and circumference of circles today, along with practice on cylinders.
HW: None
Social Studies: More reading about slavery today. I so appreciate the students' interest in this very delicate subject. I'm guessing there are questions coming home with everything we are learning about. It is interesting to see how angry they all get when we talk about slavery and how humans were dealt with back in the original colonies.
HW: None
Spring Break is upon us--whether you're traveling or staying in town...I hope everyone has a FANTASTIC break, gets lots of rest and comes back ready for the home stretch. We have so many exciting things planned for the remainder of our year, I know our days together are going to FLY by!
