Welcome back from a long weekend!  The kids were ready to get to work today and we had a fantastic day!  We started reading one of my favorite stories in Journeys, Hercules' Quest.  This is a Greek myth, and we had fun talking about other mythical characters too!  Spelling test will be on Friday- the next ten states and capitals.  Tonight's homework is to read the story and complete the plot chart. 

We reviewed divisions in math- talk about moaning and groaning :)  We clearly need some more practice! 

We had a great time starting our new science unit today.- soil, rocks, and landforms! Today the groups observed different soil samples.  We then added water and will observe how the particles have settled tomorrow.
