"I had forgotten how thrilling a snow day is until my son started school, and as much as he loves it, he swoons at the idea of a free day arriving unexpectedly, laid out like a gift."  Susan Orlean

Students were very excited about the prospect of a snow day tomorrow and possibly again on Wednesday.  All conversations during snack time revolved around the weather.  :)

We will continue to practice our multiplication and division facts this week.  Students worked on fact extensions in class using the adult weights of North American animals.  We will also work on perimeter and area problems assuming the weather cooperates.  Students will have a one-sided assignment each night for homework.

Our spelling rule this week involves the double vowel syllables -eu, -ew, and -ui.  Students will have a Spelling Cafe choice each night for homework.

Scholastic book orders are due this week.  Our classroom code is HB244 if you choose to order online.

Have a wonderful, snowy week!  :)
