On Tuesday we had a busy day.  We had our annual Jog-a-thon.  Students ran/walked for 40 minutes in the afternoon.  We had a DJ for lunch and spent most of the afternoon outside.  We ended the day with Mix-it-up with a 5th grade class, who came in and read picture books for us.  It was a fun day for all although they were definitely worn out by the end of the day.  I want to thank the families who helped out with jog-a-thon as well as though families who came to cheer their child on while they ran:)

In writing we are working on poetry.  Last week we wrote a poem with rhyming words about any color they wanted to pick.  This week we worked on biography poems.  Next week we will write Haiku poems and the week after, we will write acrostic poems.

In math we made gliders out of paper.  Today we had our first trial tests and recorded the results. We also compared our three trials to each other.  Next week we will analyze the class data from our first trials and then will have 2nd trials and record and analyze that data.

I want to thank our 3 parents who have volunteered to help out with Field Day on June 12th.  We would love extra help if you are interested.  Just let me know.

Homework has finished for the year.  Their only homework is to go outside and enjoy the weather.  Please keep sending in the Friday folders as I will be continuing to send in notes as they come to me.  A reminder that our last day is Monday, June 15th and is a half day.  Report cards will go home on this day.  If your child will not be here on that day, please try and let me know in advance so I can send home their report card on their last day.

Have a wonderful weekend,
Nancy
