Great Week!
We have had another fun-filled, very busy week! I think everyone really enjoyed the Holiday on Monday!!! That has not slowed us down! We have learned so much information about the Great Depression, and Sum of Parts. As we move through our curriculum, we are heading straight for WW2 and Chemical and Physical Change. Students are so excited about both of these!! In Math, we will move from Volume into Measurement and Capacity. In Reading, we are wrapping up Bud, Not Buddy and will begin our new book, Number the Stars next week!
Lots of info this week! Let me know if you have any questions!

READ ACROSS AMERICA Day! March 2nd
If you would like to join us in celebrating Read Across America Day, please let me know. I am looking for a few volunteers to come be Mystery Readers in our class that day. We are reading all day on March 2 and thought some of you may enjoy reading something to our class. Let me know if you are interested. You will need to plan on about 20-30 minutes to be in our class and please plan on bringing your own choice of book. We look forward to seeing you!

Today we sent a flyer home that has information about inviting 5th Graders to come over and check out the Robo-Lions Robotics Team as they hold an Open House. March 1st from 3:30-4:15. Stop by with your child and see some cool things happening at our High School!! This is a GREAT way to get your students interested in Robotics before they go to Middle School. Hull has a fantastic Robotics team!
