January 8-11, 2013

Time for the two week holiday break is almost here - and there's not a fifth grader in the building who's not eagerly waiting for tomorrow's final bell at 2:10

We did finish up the test in science today on the muscular/skeletal system that Mrs. Ashley and I put together this week. It covered the skeleton and several important bones, the jump rope investigation, our study of owl pellets, muscles, ligaments and tendons, the three different types of joints, and our study of prototypes and the scientific method through the Dolphin Tale video.

As mentioned earlier, the two week holiday break begins with dismissal tomorrow (Dec 21); school resumes at the regular time on Tuesday, January 8.

Have a fun break!
