Friday May 4th: May the forth be with you

Notices:
Welcome to May the fourth, international Star Wars day.
School fund raiser forms came home yesterday... help support the Parent fund initiative. 

We began the day with our weekly spelling test.  The tests were marked and handed back.  Three students got perfect 20 out of 20 on their tests.  These word lists are harder than those before spring break so it is expected that the students will not do quite as well as they did on their older spelling tests, so more practice for some is needed.

After spelling the students worked on two writing assignments while watching the first Star wars movie released # 4 with Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, the fictional character and the main protagonist of this original film trilogy of the Star Wars franchise, where Luke  finds himself apprenticed to the Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi. He soon becomes an important figure in the Rebel Alliance, leading the struggle against the Galactic Empire. I find that students of this age are the perfect age for beginning to understand the heroic life of a young person and often leads to a greater interest in reading and writing. 




After Recess the students continued with the Star Wars movie while working on our ongoing writing assignment.

After lunch we had buddies followed by math using tally marks and surveys which we use in creating our own graphs.  After Math we had P.E. where we played against Mrs. Carlton's class.
