First off in the news tonight, Mrs. Ohrvall has requested cereal boxes from everyone in the fifth grade--or at least as many as can send them in. These are for Colonial Days, which is on the first Friday of February. We can always use lots of volunteers for Colonial Days as well, so if you missed out on the trip to BizTown, here's your chance to show up for a great day of old-timey activities culminating in the big Square Dance.
We are going to be pretty busy in the coming two weeks. I'm trying to keep everything in balance, but for now, know that we will have a Spelling test on Friday, and my Math class will have a test on Friday as well. I understand that I missed a sliver of the United States for our States and Capitals, but we will have that quiz next week. Then we will finally be finished.
Direct Objects, poems about snow ("snowems"), and the human skeletal system highlighted today's learning topics. Likely all of them will return tomorrow, along with some new stuff thrown in. I hope by this time tomorrow, I will be able to tell you that the kids got to do a really sweet hands-on activity in Science.
Oh, and lastly, during our Daily 5 time today (which was technically Daily 2), we had a nice little tribute to John Lennon on the anniversary of the day he died 34 years ago. We listened to Hey, Jude; Let It Be, Instant Karma, and Happy X-Mas (War Is Over), which then just led into some Christmas music. I was very young when he died, so I don't remember, but his legacy in undeniable.
Have a happy Tuesday!
