This Week
         Our student teacher, Daniella Benloulou comes to our class beginning on Tuesday for the next 3 weeks.  She’ll be observing and helping with the class this week and then teaching some lessons for the final two weeks.  It’ll be great to have her in the class!
         On Wednesday we’ll be having our spaghetti day.  Students don’t need to bring a lunch—we’ll be having spaghetti with sauce and cheese, buns, and cut veggies.  We’ll have rice pasta for those students with gluten allergies.  Students are asked to bring a spaghetti eating invention to eat the spaghetti with.  It should be loads of fun.  I’ll post pictures of the event afterwards.
          
Math: Students will be learning about liquid and mass measures this week.
Reading: Students will finish their project on Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.  Examples of projects include rat newspapers, rat menus, and rat survival kits.
Writing:  We are just about finished with dialogue; students will be writing an adventure story that will include dialogue in it.  We’ll be focusing on creating an interesting plot and set in the story.       
Computer: We have finished entering book reviews on the class wikisite.  You can read them at this link:
Social studies: We will display our Barkerville models this week and displaying them in front of the library.  Come see them if you’re at school!   
Science: We are focusing on the human body and will study eating and digestion.
Art: We’ll be doing some paper weaving this week and weave using some class looms that I have.
PE: Wednesday—jogging and fitness; Tuesday--dance; Monday and Thursday are game day.  This week we’re going to learn some crazy dances from the 50s and 60s.
