Late Post Monday

I will happily revise today's title.  Kids, I need your help on this one.  Parents, I apologize for the late post.  We were at the Field Museum all day. It was a great trip. We were able to see the Terracotta Warriors and so much more!

This evening at home...

• complete the Museum Reflection handout
• read

This week....

• We will make Gingerbread Houses on Friday. Parents, if you plan to join us, please let me know. I have already heard from several parents. :-)
• We will begin working on our Area and Perimeter Gingerbread blueprints.
• We will take our Math MAPS test on Thursday.
• We will take the Journeys Test for Earth Dragon on Wednesday.
• We will also go to the Lab on Wednesday to test conductors and insulators.

Parents, I am looking for a volunteer who can set up a Shutterfly Share Site for 201. This is a great way to share photos privately within our group. Please let me know if you have time to set up the site.

I would like to begin reading The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis, as soon as possible.  I have several copies in 201. We will count them tomorrow. We may need a few extra! I will keep you posted.  We will tackle this book as both an independent read and a read aloud in class. This classic is one of my all time favorites. Not only is a fantastic story, it is a great way to explore character development and themes.   Yes, there is a movie. Of course, the book is much better!
