Happy weekend!

Well, I'm gearing up for this afternoon and tomorrow - getting those report cards done! I wish they really showed how much your child has grown so far this year!

Here's what we'll be doing next week and some things we have been doing...

Language Arts: We're continuing to read our novels. We've been focusing on characters, setting, and inferring. Next week we'll get into character traits and mood.

Math: My class will continue with graphing. This week we talked about line graphs using temperatures. We went to weather.com and kept track of Urbana's weather for a day. Fun stuff...

Writing: We're going listen to some "Just So" stories and then write one ourselves. Like... How the Rabbit Got Long Ears... They turn out to be very entertaining!

Science: We're ending our Rocks, Soil, and Fossils Unit next week and are beginning Populations. We'll end the unit with a tour of the Wetland's fossil wall with Mr. Esko... if you've never been to our Wetlands, YOU NEED TO GO!! All the kids had a great time today making their own fossils! I hope they all make it home in one piece!

Word Study: We'll be working on more suffixes.

I am sooo sorry I forgot my camera on the ESSL field trip! Mrs. Sikora took some and I'll try to get those on here this weekend.

Please be sure to get in the permission slips for Urbana High School's Cinderella! We always try to take advantage of this free show - the kids love it!

Well, that's it for now - have a wonderful weekend with your family!
Mrs. Humerick
