Week 26

“Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn’t be done.” – Amelia Earhart

What wonderful weather we are having this week! I think we might be done with snow for the rest of the year. On Friday we are having Green Day in recognition of St. Patrick. This is a nonuniform day and students should wear green.

Students who take instrument lessons need to remember to bring their instruments to school for both lessons and orchestra (2 times a week).

We are finishing our informational reports on famous people this week. We are at the publishing stage. We are spending time in the computer lab getting them typed.

Math

We have been working on comparing fractions, and we are having a quiz on Chapter 9 on Tuesday. I encourage everyone to work on the assignments from TC.TrinityLI.org.
