What a Cool Assembly!

We attended a terrific assembly today entitled The Signature Project. It was a multimedia presentation by artist and musician Patrick Dunnigan.  Here's the link to his site http://www.signatureproject.com/

It was art and music, science, culture and much more.  A bit hard to describe, but very memorable.  When we got back to the classroom, there was just no way to go back to our regularly scheduled lesson with so many creative ideas bouncing around, so for a bit everyone did whatever drawing and coloring they were inspired to do.    I got to sign the board which will be part of the final artwork!

Tonight the kiddoes are preparing for our weekly spelling quiz plus a math quiz on comparing fractions.  We've practiced over and over how to check their comparisons using cross multiplication so I hope everyone will do well.  I'll do another review lesson before the quiz tomorrow just to make sure.
(We still have geometry, area and elapsed time to get through before summer. AHHH!)  

You'll receive a letter tomorrow asking for help with a simple machines project and the good news that our class has reached the next level in WISE behavior!
