We continued our weather unit this week by learning about the elements that make up weather (wind, heat, pressure, and precipitation) and how they are measured. We also started an evaporation experiment.  We put water in 2 cups and covered one with a baggie.  Ask your child which cup is evaporating faster.

     Thank you to one of our parents who is a Reading Specialist and came in to do a lesson with the students.  She read and discussed with us a folktale  called The Fisherman and His Wife. 

There were wonderful illustrations displayed on the white board that went along with the story.

The students discuss aspects of the folktale with each other.

Our presenter and her daughter!  The students in the background are working on sequencing the story.  I hope they used the illustrations to tell you the story after school.                             Next week is Catholic Schools week.  Please follow the schedule for the dress down days.  We will not use the reading series that week but we will be starting our Flat Stanley unit.  Look for more information coming home.
