February 24-28

Welcome Back Friends!

It's good to feel the seasons changing and feel the warmth of the sun!  Did you get outside to play over break?

This week we will begin new units of study.  Pourquoi tales are stories that have been told from one generation to another as a way of explaining something that happens in nature.  As we study biomes on our field trip this week and start learning about Michigan's Native Americans we will use what we are learning to craft our own pourquoi tales in writing.   We'll also start our new unit of science-light!

Speaking of our field trip--have you returned your permission slip?  The weather is going to be cold, please dress to be outside.  That means hats. coats, gloves, boots, and snow pants!
