Friday!

We had a great day today!  Thank you SO much for the yummy Native American foods for us to try! The kids loved it!!

We started the day off with our last Guidance class of  the year.  Then we shared some of our animotos from our Famous Women projects.  Next we worked on our simple machines from yesterday's science lessons. We learned about different types of simple machines along with some complex machines.  A great website to add to your home computer is:  http://www.edheads.org/activities/simple-machines/index.shtml
We've been playing this just a little at school. If your child has time to get on the site, let me know in the planner for extra credit!

After science we read some out of War Horse. It's getting good now! :)  Then we began SS. Kids first had fun writing their names with the Cherokee alphabet. Then they enjoyed some Native American treats while watching an educational video on the early tribes of KY.

After lunch bunch and recess, we got to go watch the 5th grade Beta Club induction! It was so great - hope to see lots of my students in it next year!

We finished the day with some more reading of War Horse, writing UK poems with our Writing Buddies, and then learning a Native American dance (and laughing at me! haha) from the Chickasaw tribe.

Have a good weekend & Go CATS!
