I've put my blog on the back burner and have decided that it would be the best way for me to keep everyone up to date. Easier than a weekly newsletter too. I hope to be able to scan homework too. As you know the school's budget has been caught and making copies is a huge expense (besides the paper cost).
Odyssey of the Mind

Reading/Writing
It's been a busy few weeks. In language arts we are working on types of fiction (science fiction, legends, folktales/folklore, and novels. A unit on folktales is our current focus. The unit will end with students writing their own folktale. A final copy of their folktale is due Thursday, March 24th. All stages of the writing (planning, drafting, editing, revising, and final draft) will be completed in class. All folktales must be handed in on the 24th in order to receive credit for the project. This is the major writing assignment for the 3rd quarter
Social Studies
We are learning about the people of North Carolina in social studies. We are studying the people of each of the three regions.

If you have not turned in your child's permission slip and fieldtrip money it is due tomorrow 3/8. We need to confirm the number of seats that are needed on buses on Tuesday afternoon (the number will be figured based upon the permission slips and $30 we have received).
