I will add pictures from our Museum soon. Please remember there is no Lunch A Month or Pizza Day tomorrow. Please remind students to pack a lunch. Also, on Friday we will be tie-dyeing with our little buddies. Students can bring in a white T-shirt if they would like to dye something.

Today we showed Katlyn's class our magic tricks. We worked on our reports. In Betsy's math class, we worked on fractions. In Kim's math class, we worked on challenging subtraction.

Frontier Culture Museum by Sarah and Daisy

A few days ago we went to the Frontier Culture Museum. We got to go back in time to Africa in the 1600s. In Africa we got to see the huts in which one African family lived. We also got to do "women's and men's" work. On the American side in 1850 we got to help farm and got to see a meat house. Two kids went to the spring to take water pails to the house. We all had a wonderful time!

Kim's Math by the Molly Pitchers

We have been working on codes about the American Revolution. We have also been looking at angles and turns.

Today in Drama we practiced the “Wacky Boogie!” And we learned dthe moves that go with it. The “Wacky Boogie” is in the “Wonderland” play I told you aboutyesterday. Also in class we got to choose what we wanted to write about. I chose “Free Choice” and I'm writing about a girl named Ko and she is from Japan and her family was forced to live on the streets. Now we are going to Art.
