I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend! Ours was spent with family, a lot of eating, and some relaxing too! I appreciated the extra day off on Monday because my mom and I took my niece to the zoo and we fed the giraffes! Too much fun :-).
Can you believe we are at the FINAL countdown (did you start singing the song too? - "it's the final countdown...da da da daaaaaa da da da da daaaaaaa") of our school year! We are working on earning a few surprises for our last five weeks of school together. Thank you for reminding your scholar about making their best choices and continuing to work hard! I was SO proud of them for spelling out our virtue of the month! As a class, they voted for ice cream and a movie! Utilizing our latest unit in math, we took a survey on our favorite ice cream flavors! What would you do for a Klondike bar?
Scholar Shout-Outs:
Congratulations to John Paul (Friendship) and Alise (Perseverance) for your Virtue Awards! We are so proud of each and every one of our scholars for their virtuous behavior.
This is a picture from last week but too sweet not to share...I love seeing how much these kids take care of each other and show friendship!

History: The students will learn about Abraham Lincoln's background and feelings about slavery. They should be able to identify the early battles of the Civil War and the division of the North and South over slavery. They should also be able to explain why the South wanted to secede from the Union.
Science: We will learn about a special woman, a nurse, named Florence Nightingale. She was also known as The Lady with the Lamp. Florence always believed that her life had a special purpose and that she was meant to help others. Ask your scholar how she accomplished this!
