Good Morning,

  Today we finished up a science lesson from last week.  The students had to discuss why a magnet was attracted to some metal objects but not others.  This was the second lesson in our 10 lesson unit on magnets.  Our next unit will be light and sound.

 We also continued our study of narrative writing.  The students are working in teams to write the words for a picture book that they chose.  Their writing must include all of the elements to a narrative.  Once they are finished, we will read their writings and determine of all of the elements war ended included.

Notes For the Week:

*There is a whole school music concert on Thursday from 6:00-7:00 p.m.  We will have two rehearsals this week.  One rehearsal will be on Tuesday, from 8:15-8:45 and the other will be on Thursday from 9:00-10:00.  On Thursday, the students will all meet in the gym and not go to their classrooms.  Since we will be sitting on the mats, I am asking that students where their boots to the concert and then change into a pair of shoes.  This way we are not sitting in puddles.  If it is easier, you can leave your child's boots in the hallway outside their classroom.  This way you won't have to search for them after.

*We have a Winter Sports program day on Wednesday.

Have a great week.

Peace,
Tommy
