This Week
         This week Ms. Benloulou will begin teaching some lessons to the students in class.  She is very excited to be in the class and has commented several times on how cooperative, thoughtful, and welcoming the students have been.  
         Spaghetti Day was a great success with the students bringing many clever inventions to eat spaghetti.  We all had many laughs at the crazy ways spaghetti can be eaten.  I have posted pictures about spaghetti day and will post a video about the day soon. 
         Swimming starts on Thursday afternoon this week and will continue for three weeks.  Please remember to send permission slips and money for the lessons. 
          
Math: On Monday we begin a new math unit on Geometry.
Reading: School reading groups are finished for the year, however over the next few weeks we’ll be doing different reading activities in class including poetry, literature circles, and practicing for our play in June.  Ms. Benloulou will be teaching 3 poetry lessons to the class focusing on metaphors.
Writing:  We are continuing with students writing a creative story.       
Computer: I’ll be teaching students how to create a power point and eventually they will make a presentation to the class.
Science: We are focusing on the human body and will study eating and digestion.
Art: We’ll continue with weave using some class looms that I have, plus Ms. Benloulou will have some art activities for the students.
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.
