What a great week!

It was such a fun day today - celebrating our compliments!  We had two movies showing, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in Mrs. Williams room, Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 in Mrs. Thomason's room and then we had games in our classroom...students had a choice on where they wanted to go - it was very fun! 

We accomplished a lot this week - In Reading we read a play called The Pine Park Mystery.  We talked about the different components of a play and what stage direction means.  We read the play with different parts all week and then we took our comprehension test on Friday.

In Math we are learning fractions.  Fractions are fun, and all the students seem to really understand them, which makes it even more fun!  Next week we will begin working with time again - telling time with "a quarter to, half past, and quarter after."  We will also practice measuring in inches and half inches!

For Social Studies we finished our chapter on goods and services.  Please ask your child to tell you what goods are and what services are!

I hope that Dads were able to enjoy the donuts this morning - it was sure fun to see so many attend!  What a great way to start the day!

Enjoy your weekend - hoping for some sunshine!
