Welcome Baaaaaaack!

Bees,

Hope you had a fabulous spring break! Did you do something amazing and not think about school at all? Or, did you sit at home everyday and dream about our awesome class and think to yourself that you couldn't wait to get back and make the best Canada presentation possible??! Maybe you had a mixture of the two. 

Whatever the case may be, SB is over and it's time once again to come into room 101 and learn, learn, learn!

This week:

Language Arts: new spelling words, grammar review, spelling test on Friday

Social Studies: Canada presentation work time, project due Monday!

Looking forward to a great week!

This Week in Core...READ THE CALENDAR!

Hey there bees...

If you're wondering what we are doing in Core, go ahead and check out the calendar (it is conveniently located at the top of this page and in the sidebar). The class calendar is a safe bet when finding what is happening in class as it is actually the calendar that I plan with.  by checking the calendar, we can reserve the blog for all those other helpful things like links, presentation materials, clarifications and more! Happy calendar-ing.
