Happy Spring!

Our first two journals have arrived! After long trips across our country and around the world, Becca's and Rachel's journals returned to Clermont Northeastern Elementary. Becca also received her final postcards from Phyllis in Iowa, Wilma in Minnesota, Loretta in Illinois, and Todd and Susan in North Carolina. Jessup's journal should be heading our way soon. It was last seen by Jean in Washington on its way to Texas!

We are studying perimeter, area and volume in math this week. Tomorrow we will have a math day during which the students will travel to 9 different stations learning about probability, fractions and measurement in preparation for the Ohio Achievement Test next week.
In science, we are finishing up our unit on weather. Weather ABC books are due this Friday, April 16.
Our language arts focus this week is poetry and figurative language.
