"Is it so small a thing
To have enjoy'd the sun,
To have lived light in the spring,
To have loved,
To have thought,
To have done..."
-  Matthew Arnold

We spent the morning practicing for our upcoming performance of "Spaced Out."  I can't wait for parents to see the show next Wednesday morning, the 15th, at 9am. It's such fun!  

We solved number stories involving multiples of 10 today.  Students used a map showing the masses of adult North American birds to solve word problems.  Other math lessons this week include using mental math to multiply problems involving larger factors, exploring elapsed time and practicing partial products using partitioned rectangles.  Students will be given a Home Link each night. 

Our spelling rule this week involves adding more than one suffix to a word.  Students will have a Spelling Cafe choice each night for homework.

Our class has won the Box Top challenge!!!  Thank you to all that participated this year.  We will see a movie with popcorn one day before school ends.  :)

Have a wonderful week!
