Happy TGIF

Being "crazy hair" day today will probably explain the craziness of the day. We had quite the crazy hairdos in here today. They looked great as you can tell from the pics. Fun day had by all and yes some good learning went on today. In Social Studies, they learned a bit more about Lewis & Clark. Ask them who was chosen first for the expedition and write it in the planner if they can tell you. In Science, we are almost finished with our whale migration flip books. They are doing a great job and learning a lot about these amazing creatures. We are almost done with Riding Freedom. Only one chapter to go. They love the book so much, they want it to go on longer so we are stretching it out. We will finish it on Monday though. Next week, we start our Wiffle Ball Tournament where we play all the intermediate classrooms throughout the week. It is a fun activity for all and a big part of it is to see how they display good positive character. It is their time to show all they have learned this year during our morning meetings/class discussions about character/problem solving. They will have a form to fill out after each game to rate themselves on character/sportsmanship. Then a few from each classroom will be chosen by teachers to play against the teachers on Friday afternoon. This will be based on the character displayed throughout the week and all year. Make sure you wear PE shoes and no flip flops. Reminder: Field Day is on Tuesday, May 22nd from 1-3. Fossil Dig Field Trip is on Thursday, May 24th -all day. Also, our Library time is 9-10 on Tuesday this next week due to a conflict in the Library next Friday so those of you that didn't return books this Friday, have them here by Tuesday. Hailey is our Student of the Week. We loved all the pics, ribbons, and hearing all about her. We can tell she sure loved our field trip to the ranch as she is quite a horse person herself. Have a great weekend.
