Gloomy Day

Good afternoon!

We started our morning with some quiet reading before getting started on 3 task cards before gym. We worked very quietly this morning and we think it's because it was so dark and gloomy outside.

When we got back to class after indoor gym, we continued working on our task cards before reading more from our novel Silverwing.

Because of the rain and wet conditions, we had an indoor recess today. Ms. Zimmermann's class then went to music and library while Mr. Fisher's class worked on an art activity.

After lunch, we did some more quiet reading before moving into science. Today we learned all about bats including their habitat, anatomy, and nutrition. We then did an activity where we had to write down some facts about fruit bats as well as labeling the different parts of a bat. Before we watched a video about how bats see where they're going (echolocation), we did a big classroom clean up.

REMINDERS:

SPELLING TEST is TOMORROW! Next week we will have 50 words for Review Week.

As the weather has been nice as of late, we have been having outdoor Phys. Ed.
PLEASE make sure your child has APPROPRIATE footwear (i.e. running shoes, NOT flip flops or open sandals). Proper footwear is important for safety, and students will not be allowed to participate without.

Mavericks will be selling popcorn again to finish their fundraising commitment to Free the Children starting on Monday, May 9th at LUNCH RECESS outside. They will sell every Monday until they are sold out. Popcorn is $2.00 a bag.
