"In the Spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours."  Mark Twain

We started our week with a sunny and breezy day.  Students made American Indian headbands with our Ed 500 student from U.N.H.  It is her last day working in our classroom and we will miss her Monday visits.  Students learned a variety of symbols used for picture writing by tribes who lived on the Great Plains.  They used these symbols to create stories on their headbands.

We have finished studying Simple Machines and students are anxious to transition to our Black American Unit.  We will begin learning about the Underground Railroad this week.

Our spelling rule this week involves v-c-e exceptions.  These words have a silent e, but it does not make the vowel before it long.  Good old English language!  :)

We will be solving word problems using division in math this week.  We'll also be multiplying and dividing by 8s and 9s.

Have a wonderful week!  :)
