Week of March 14th - 18th

It's going to be an exciting week! In both reading and writing this week, we will be talking a lot about poetry. Some of the parents joined us for Curriculum Night last week and got first hand experience in a poetry exercise that we participated in during our class time. By Wednesday we will each have at least one poem posted on our class blog and would like to encourage you to read through them. Feel free to leave a comment (instructions were given before, just make sure you put your name on it)! The students will be required to reply to two before Sunday, March 20th.
We finished up our unit in geometry and are moving into a new unit on measurement. We will begin this week by looking at linear measurement, starting tomorrow with a reading of a great book titled How Big Is A Foot? by Rolf Myller.

We will continue our study of Earth materials this week by further investigating different types of fossils and soils. On Friday, I will begin my two weeks of full time teaching. I am beginning on a Friday so that we can all be in the classroom for Friday, April 1st, to celebrate It's A Grand Day together. Hope you all have a great week!
