Back to blogging!

This week we will take our last Pro Ohio test for Science. Last week's Reading & Math proved to be good practice for us. As many of you know, we will not be having Valentine's Day parties, as this is a district wide decision. Feel free to still come with Valentine's cards for classmates. The kids were asked to write down names of their classmates if they were interested in handing out cards.

Our reading story this week is Dolphin Tale, which many of the kids have seen the movie for. What a great story! Feel free to check out Winter on a live webcam as she swims with her tank mate & other friends. We watched her today & really enjoyed seeing her in action! Our test will be this Thursday as well as our new lit circles. Make sure you come prepared with your Storyworks,  lit circle book & lit circle journal on Thursday.

In science this week we are learning about what causes day & night. We will do some activities to prove what is behind this daily occurance, as well as discussing time zones along with this to see why different parts of the world are sleeping when we're awake. Our water pollution lab is proceeding along very nicely! This week we'll be wrapping things up in our water pollution lab. Seeing firsthand the effects of groundwater pollution  really helps us imagine a leaky landfill, yuck!
