Happy Friday!

We’ve had a great week back at school. This week we started our exploration of Antarctica, worked on measurement and finding perimeters of quadrilaterals, fractions, and pronouns. Today we had a guest speaker, an anthropologist and archaeologist, and come in and talk to us about early humans.

Next Tuesday, the 13^th, we have our field trip to the PAC to see the National Geographic Live presentation from Kobie Boykins, a NASA engineer who works with the Mars Rovers. We will be leaving the school at 9:45am and returning around 12. Thanks to everyone who has sent in the permission form for this trip! If I have not received your permission form, I am sending another one home today. Report cards are also coming home today from second quarter. This is a copy for you to keep. Please let me know if you have any questions.
