What's happening this week?

We are so near the end of the year that kids are beginning to smell it in the air. However, that is not the only reason that excitement is beginning to build.  Last week, in science, we began our study on animals and their habits, body coverings, etc.  With that said, we went to the zoo yesterday and had an amazing time.  Several kids were even able to get one of the parrots to talk to them.

Next week, we will begin community helpers and the fire unit will bring in a portable "house" that the kids will be taught lessons in and allowed to escape through a window. 

We also have science projects being turned in this week with a science fair, Latin show and art show one night this week.  

Field day is also this Friday so you can see why the excitement is happening.   

In language we are all now reading (most kids very well) and are working on fluency.

In math we have finished with all our addition facts and are finishing up the last of our subtraction facts with the difference of one and difference of two facts as well as subtracting 10 from a number facts.

I can't believe the year is so close to an end.

In Christ,

Johnny
