This week we read about ancient animals in reading class. In science we continued learning about water. We did an experiment in class this week to test how much water is wasted by a drippy faucet. I think they were all very surprised by how much water can be lost....We also studied the past tense in Tops. This week we were a little too busy to start James and the Giant Peach, so we'll start it next week.....

Kevin did well. He's been very focused and driven to finish his classwork.

Perry has done well in science this week.

Jordan's story is coming along. I think he's been very enthusiastic about his progress.

Andy is doing a great job on his story as well. He's been very excited and eager each day to work on it.

Iris has asked many insightful questions in science class this week.

Irisa has been very quick with her classwork. I'm often surprised how quickly she finishes her work. she can be very diligent.

Jessica did great at the batting cage on Friday. I explained to all the kids how to hit a ball, and she tried once or twice the way I explained, however, she didn't hit any balls. She then tried her own way and hit almost every other ball. She can make a great softball player!
