Back on schedule

This week, we have worked hard completing the Stanford Achievement Test. Next week, we will hopefully be back on a regular schedule.

In science, we will wrap up our water cycle centers. Student have done a great job with these centers. When these are finished, we will move onto clouds. We will talk about the major types of clouds and the weather that accompanies them.

In reading, we will be working on a novel unit. My reading class will be reading Watson's Go To Birmingham, 1963. This is a great story set around the civil rights struggles of the 60's. It is one of my favorites.

Meet Lucy

This is our new puppy, Lucy. My sister found her and her brother on the side of the road hiding under a rock. She found a home for the brother and we have adopted Lucy. I thought you all would like to see her!!

So much for normal!!

Maybe we will get back to normal in May!!!

We are going to do the spelling and reading from last week this week. We are excited about having Local 12 meteorologist John Gumm coming to talk with us on Friday afternoon.
