A huge THANK YOU to
all the parents who helped to make Colonial Day a wonderful success! It was a fabulous day that the kids will
remember for the rest of their life. A
special thank you to Donna, Fanny, and Kirsten for all their help with the
planning for the terrific day!
I also want to thank you for an amazing Teacher Appreciation
week. It really made me feel so special
and for that I am grateful.
And a big thanks to the many parents that stopped by today to do
book interviews. That was terrific : )
Upcoming
events:
1. Language
Arts: We just finished reading My Brother Sam is Dead. This is
an intense story about a young boy who is unsure who to support in the
Revolutionary War. His older brother has
joined the rebels to fight the British, while his father is loyal to the
Bristish King. We spent this week
writing a Response to this literature.
Our final book of the year will be Tuck Everlasting.
2. Social Studies: We are working
on Ch. 11 about the Tensions between the British and the colonist. We are
seeing the Revolution from both the Loyalist and Patriots’ point of view. Our

LOOK for their study guide to review! We will also have a Final DOG ( Daily Oral
