Homework tonight is to continue reading the Sacajawea book. They need to read the Chapter entitled, Little Bird Returns. The quizzes were better today for some, but not all. We talked about how in 5th grade, the teacher is going to expect their students to be able to read ALONE and comprehend what they are reading. If they need to read aloud, they need to find a way that that strategy will work for them. These will be our last grades in reading this year.
Tomorrow is World Water Day. Kids are encouraged to bring a dollar donation and wear as much blue as they can. (No hair coloring). This is Arrowhead's last spirit day for 2013-2014 school year. Thanks for all your support.
Final Essays were written today. Kids published them in pen today in their best handwriting. They will be graded and added into the language grades and then placed in their files for their 5th grade teachers to see. What a great 1st impression so many of them are making. So proud!
Two kiddos used their show and tell coupons today. Chase brought in a very cool project he helped do. He created a lego model of the app game, Flappy Bird. So, so creative!
Jen brought in some magic little bead things. I am so out of date on what is in these days. I have never even heard of these before. When added to water, they grow in size! They are also room air fresheners. Who knew???? Crazy! Thanks for sharing Chase and Jen!
It was Ty's early birthday today! He brought in some delicious crepes for us to eat filled with strawberries. Many kids went back for seconds! Yummy! Thanks Ty and I hope you have a great birthday this weekend!
That about does it. Have a great evening!
