November 5, 2010

Happy Friday!  This week we read the book Blueberries for Sal.  In honor of Sal, the state of Maine, and the town Machias, we made blueberry muffins this morning.  The students really seemed to enjoy the process and getting the opportunity to cook in school.

We all spent today working on our writes about the annual blueberry festival in Machias, Maine, writing in our Weekly News journals, and finishing up our unit on rectangles and symmetry.

Below is the parent conference schedule (Everyone should have received his/her note yesterday.  If your time doesn't work, feel free to call someone else on the list and try to switch with them,  However, please make sure to let me know and all changes should be made by Monday of next week.

*Remember book order forms are due by Monday.

Have a great weekend.

Peace,
Mr. Young
