Happy Monday!

I don't know about you, but today was a tiring Monday. I think it must have something to do with all the yard work there is to do this time of year. We are doing some re-landscaping so lots of pulling, digging, etc. I am feeling my age today!! Oh well, tomorrow is a new day. Did get some hanging flower pots though so just love-love the color they add to our yard. Today was a productive day academically though so that is good. We started our gray whale fact gathering. Ask your child 2 cool facts and write them down for free money. Montana research is coming along nicely and we will use computers tomorrow and Wed. yet and then whatever is not finished will go home for homework. We need to get moving so we can learn about the history of this area before the Lewis & Clark Expeditions starts. Tomorrow morning is the last class time to finish our area & perimeter robots. Those that have finished look great as they are coloring them and giving them a name. Ask your child the name of their robot and write it in the planner for money. Today we started something new and fun in Language after all our hard work and doing lots of DOL this year. We are doing Grammar Fun/Noun Town. Students are in groups of 3 and it is like the game "Clue". They will have daily language activities to do to get their clues to try and solve the mystery. They are excited. Ask them whose Grammar Group they are in. My favorite part of the day was reading Riding Freedom. We finished chapter 5 which takes us to the middle section-the great part- as I tell the kids. HMMMM-I wonder what Mr. Millshark will do now?? Does it have them thinking? Reminder: We are going on our Mystery Field Trip on Wed. so bring that dollar. Have a great night and enjoy the nice weather.
