The Start to a Short Week

Well Monday has came and gone. What a fast day it was! I can't believe today is our 130th day already. Wow, where has the year gone?

Today we started a new mystery state. Our mystery state morning activity is something that we started last week where every day I give the students a clue about a certain state. Then, they have to make guesses about the state and on Friday I reveal what the mystery state really was. Last week we appropriately started with Montana! This week our first clue was "This state has the lowest water-to-land ratio of all 50 states." Families, if you know the answer, don't give it away! I want the students to try and figure it out! :)

We also continued our Human Body unit and put together a model skeleton of my friend, Mr. Bones. He was a skeleton that got blown over by these strong prairie winds and so we had to help out and put him back together correctly. Even though the students were allowed to use their human body worksheets, we weren't all correct in our assembly. We definitely realized how many pieces our body has!

Tomorrow the book orders are due either online or in paper form by the end of the school day so make sure you have those in! There is homework this week, despite what students thought, because we still are here all five days of the week! See you tomorrow!
