Mr. Bubbles and other news....

Well, we have a sad announcement regarding our new and beloved fish, Mr. Bubbles.  I checked on him this weekend because I was concerned about our new tank.  Sure enough, the filter proved to be too strong for him and he passed on.  We have a new fishy friend joining us today and we will pick his name soon. I will be purchasing a new habitat for our new friend after school today.  (Who knew fish could be so high maintenance!) The class took it pretty well this morning, but I am sure it will be a topic of conversation around the dinner table tonight. 

This week we will be learning the following:

Math:  fractions (comparing, ordering on a number line)
History:  events leading up to the Civil War; Harriet Tubman
Poem:  Harriet Tubman
Science:  Life Cycles (thanks to Mr. Bubbles we will visit this earlier than planned); Insects
Literature:  Tall Tales
Grammar:  Sentence Parsing, Formal vs. Informal language; using synonyms in writing

Please remember:  Fraction Pizzas are due THIS Friday for ALL math classes!
