Finally I have some pictures of our fun that we have been having!  Michaela (Jack's mom) took some fun pictures while doing shaving cream spelling words with some kids in the cafeteria.  This is very fun for the kids.  I use a cookie sheet to keep the cream contained and neater.  Your own children would love this for practicing their words at home!

Jason had the scientist bag at his house and he made an amazing volcano!  Here is a picture of him sharing it with our group!

The next chapter in math we will be starting measurement.  Have your child measure items around your house using different objects like shoes, pencils, toothpicks to practice.

We have a super busy week next week.  The students will perform for the whole school on Wednesday, perform for their grandparents on Thursday and do a craft, and have the cultural liason (Yuko) read a story in Japanese to them!  Remember, there are no spelling words next week due to review week.

Last night I was meeting some friends for my book club.  After dinner we went to Barnes and Noble and I bought some magazines for the boys.  Then I got to thinking that maybe you would like some good suggestions of magazines for your child!  MaKayla brought in a Ranger Rick magazine the other week and the kids were super excited about it.  This is a really good magazine to get kids reading.  Sometimes if your child is reluctant to read books, a magazine may be just what he or she needs!    Here are some links to them for you:

National Geographic for Kids

Sports Illustrated for Kids

Lego Magazine

American Girl
