Tuesday update April 5

Parent teacher interviews are a great time to share your work with your parents and of course a time let the teacher meet your family.

Notices:
Parent Teacher (student led conferences) today and tomorrow
1:45 early dismissal both days

Pink Eye
is going around some of the classes in the school. I have seen a few red eyes from lack of sleep Monday mornings, but no pink eye yet. However, if your child is complaining about their eyes please get them to the clinic or apply any home made remedies you have and keep them home during the active contagious period.

Today

Today we started with Library and Computers. The students began a power point project on "Is the World Round or Flat and Why?"

After recess we talked about the coming of Christopher Columbus to North America (the Caribbean) in 1492 and the students filled in a response sheet based on pages 118 - 119 of the text then began a one page report on Columbus.

In Science we talked a a lot about the brain and light and how light is seen and understood by the brain. No assignments were given as the talking and sharing part of the lesson went on too long.

In the afternoon we had a 30 min reading / catchup / get ready for parent teacher interviews period followed by a 25 min Gym period where we played bench ball.
