On Thursday students will be visiting the pond as part of our science inquiry. Please make sure that you come to school prepared for the weather. 

Please check the weather and come prepared for this outing. 

This morning students continued their work in exploring various types of poetry. Mrs. Witmer introduced the concept of haikus to the students. They had a chance to read a few haikus, talk about the characteristics of a haiku and then create their own. Ask me what I learned about haikus today!

This afternoon students worked on taking jot notes for our inquiry projects for the last time. Any students who have not collected enough information during the given class time will be responsible for retrieving this data outside of class. We will share our jot notes on Monday so we are asking the students to have this completed by then. From here on in we will be focusing on the work that will be needed to complete our final inquiry projects. Talk to me about the information I have found on my topic and what my final inquiry project will be! 

SPRING IS IN THE AIR!!
