Welcome to the last week before spring break. After a great trip and a beautiful wedding (of my best friend from high school) I'm back and ready for some Spring preparation!
Remember, Friday at 3pm is our Spring Party. Please feel free to join us. We'll be eating a few sweets and then parading around with our Mardi Gras masks around campus. If you'd like your child to leave with you from the party please have your note turned in to me before 10am Friday!
Also, I see that Mrs. Hollister, my substitute since Friday, did not pass out language arts homework or the home reader. I did pass these out today. If your family has difficulty completing the reading and/or 4 sentences before Friday please send me an email and we can make arrangements to have a later turn in date.

Today we had the wonderful pleasure of having Mrs. Lowery come and storytell for us today. She told an amazing tall tale, Pecos Bill. She also helped us learn how we can exaggerate our writing just like her. In the next few weeks when we get back from Spring Break we'll be able to write our own tall tale!
Before the end of the week we'll wrap up our autobiography posters. To those who have pictures they'll have them on their poster. For those who didn't get a chance to bring them in, we'll just use our drawing skills to complete our posters. We'll be posting a few a week to get to know each other. I'll post some pictures when we can of the posters before we get to bring them home.
Social studies, we learned about 4 significant people in the Texas Revolution:
-Sam Houston
-Stephen F. Austin
-Santa Anna
-Davy Crockett
We'll learn about the three battles: Gonzales, Alamo and San Jacinto. Then we'll have an open book quiz on Friday before we leave.
As always, if you have any questions please let me know!
