Is it humid enough for ya?

What a great time to be learning about weather!! What a lot of unusual weather we have had over the past few weeks to observe! The water cycle and clouds are this week's focus.

My reading class is continuing to work on Watson's Go to Birmingham-1963. This has been the most fun I have had teaching this book! The book will take a very serious turn next week.

Tomorrow is our field trip to the hockey game. Don't forget to pack your lunch. Concession stands will be open, but you know sporting concessions-the items are usually pretty expensive!

This week is count week, so be here to be counted! Students who have perfect attendance this week will earn some sort of treat from Ms. Davis on Friday. If your child must be absent, be sure to send in a note explaining the absence.

Due this week: spelling homework, homework packet

Next Literature Project: FANTASY (We will all be doing Cereal Box reports and commercials. More to follow about this.)
Due: March 14

Valentine's Party is next Thursday. I will be sending home a letter soon. Please let me know if you can bring anything in. I would like to watch the movie Hairspray, which is set in the time of Watson's Go To Birmingham-1963. I think it will be a very fun way to close a great story!
