Who is Sir Issac Newton

We started a new unit in Science today by having the students visualize what they thought Sir Issac Newton looked like. We had some great, interesting visualizations. If your child can tell you anything about him and what we are going to be studying in Science, write Sir Issac in the planner for free money.
We finished our biography on Helen Keller today and now we are going to take a Friendship Walk tomorrow to see what it was like in her "dark" world. Students need to bring a bandana or piece of cloth large enough to use as a blindfold.
Also, we are so lucky to have 3 guest speakers coming on Wednesday during our class reading time which will be a tie-in to the book we are going to be starting called Riding Freedom. The setting is back in the 1800's and is a great connection to the chapter we just completed in S.Studies. We also did some research today on a topic from the 1800's and will put our info. on mobiles tomorrow to share with the class.
Friday is Family Fun Night. Come on out with your families for some good ole fashioned fun. Riding scooters, hula hooping, volleyball, etc.
Also, Friday is Twin Day so find a friend to dress alike with.
Have a great night.
