Our Volunteer Tea was a big hit! Thank you to all the families that attended so that we could celebrate you and a very big thank you to all the choir students that put in a lot of practice to perform such an amazing show. Today we finished the novel "Al Capone Does My Shirts". Last time we read Moose was desperate to help his sister and would stop at nothing. He writes a letter to Al Capone requesting his help. Piper scoffs at him because she thinks he is asking the impossible. Just when the family gives up hope, Natalie is accepted into the Esther P. Marinoff school for older children. The novel concludes.... "The next morning I get up and pull a clean shirt off the hanger. As I shoot my arm through the sleeve, I hear something crackle. I dig my fingers in the pocket and pull out a torn scrap of brown paper. It's folded in half and in half again. Inside is one word scribbled hastily in pencil and underlined twice. Done, it says." The next book in the series is called "Al Capone Does My Shoes" if your child is interested :) In math we continued our work with fractions. Focusing on how the denominator was the total number of pieces and the numerator was the parts of the whole that were left. Students played a fun math game to help them learn more about fractions. We also got an impromptu music class this afternoon. A very big thank you to Miss Lysak. We are really going to rock our song at our celebration of learning.
Lastly, Mrs. Hammond (in the Learning Commons) has reminded us that the last day to return books to the Library Bus is May 29. Students need to bring back their books to the Library bus to not get charged any late fees. If their books are late and they take them back to a Actual Library, they WILL be charged Late fees. Reminders: May 29 - Library Bus (last day) June 1 - Running Club Begins
