I hope everybody is having a great summer! I am enjoying not having to run around like a crazyperson like I do when I am teaching during the year!

Today we worked more on our brain teasers in Math. We will finish up this packet tomorrow. We also got a copy of the photos that Scott Metko, our Iraq soldier penpal, showed us last month. His brother put the photos to music and burned a copy for each student. We watched it in class, and it is really neat! Ask your child to share it with your family!

Tomorrow afternoon my class will be helping me run the talent show dress rehearsal. It will be a good lesson on how much work goes into putting on a show!

Homework:

Writing: Finish up your letter to a 4th grader-it needs to have one sentence as an intro, then three paragraphs, each about a different thing that happens in 5th grade, and a sentence as a closing. We had about twenty minutes in class to work on this. Tomorrow we will be revising them.

Other: bring any items for the talent show-instruments, sheet music, costumes etc.....

Today we had our Holes party! Thank you to all of our students who brought in snacks to share with the class! After lunch we had time for silent reading and then we watched the movie. During the movie we wrote down any differences or similarities between the book and movie. After the movie we took a quick recess to enjoy the beautiful day! When we came back in we discussed the differences and similarities we found.

Homework:

This week is a busy week! The Talent Show Dress Rehearsal is on Wednesday afternoon - be prepared to to do your skit. The actualy show is on Thursday afternoon and evening.

Also, a reminder that our Tundra Lodge field trip is this FRIDAY!!!
