I love October when we get that extra hour of sleep! We seem to function better. Alas, that has passed, and we are up an hour earlier and still looking sleepy! We are back to getting up in the dark. It should be getting lighter soon.....

The next spelling tests will be Tuesday the 23rd and the 30th.We watched two videos about castles and Great Britain this week.

By Wednesday the 24th, the students should have finished reading their biography book. We will begin writing the book report rough drafts Thursday. We will be at Stuhr Museum on the24th from 9:30-2:30. The students need to bring $6 and a sack lunch. We will learn about the Civil War.

I was thinking the Raptor Recovery in Hastings was at the end of March, but it is April 15. We will see "Journey into Amazing Caves" from 9-10; then we'll go to Raptor Recovery (10-11)in the museum. There will be live hawks,owls,and falcons. The students and adults will need to bring $4 for the movie.
