Turns out we are going to have a little winter after all. Make sure to check the district website and your e-mail for school closures. The cold weather seems like the perfect excuse to hunker down and write fiction stories, just like we will be doing in class this week. Also, it's a great excuse to read a play about the Abenaki myth "Gluskabe and Old Man Winter" which explains why we have the seasons.
In order to see another play we will be venturing out this week. On Thursday we'll head to CHS to see a preview of "West Side Story" (9:30-11:30). Speaking of field trips, a permission slip will come home on Tuesday for our 4th grade trip to the Capitol building on March 13th. Also, look for the letter about our Health curriculum which will also come home on Monday. The plan is to teach our health unit March 5th- March 12th. Finally, we'll look forward towards the spring as students form groups and begin to plan projects for the 4-H Wildlife Steward Summit this May at Hoover (see last week's blog post for more information)! We will be wrapping up our Earthquake Terror book study this week and next as student teams create final projects. Spring Conferences: Conferences are March 14-16th. Individual conferences will be on March 14th or the 16th. I will be in touch with you over the next few weeks if I am hoping to have an individual conference with you, but feel free to let me know if you would like an individual conference. On March 15th, there will be student led conferences in the classroom, open house style, which I encourage all families to attend. Upcoming Dates to make note of include: · Now through February 23rd Hoover Post Office for Students and Families (look for more information coming soon!) · Friday, February 23rd HPTO Read-a-Thon Wrap Up Celebration today (time TBD) · Friday, March 2nd EXTRA Early Release at 12:40 p.m. for all students · Wednesday, March 14th NO SCHOOL – Parent/Teacher Conferences · Thursday, March 15th NO SCHOOL – Parent/Teacher Conferences · Friday, March 16th NO SCHOOL – Parent/Teacher Conferences · Monday, March 26th NO SCHOOL – Spring Break (through Friday, March 30th) This week’s spelling words are homophones: words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings.
