Blowing in the Wind

I've never quite figured out what it is about windy days that makes children so restless. But there's something about the the wind, whether its a warm Santa Ana or cold polar blasts like today, that has the students moving in their chairs like the grass on a Nebraska prairie.

Despite this, we had a pretty good day. We did the study questions on "The Cat who Became a Poet" in class. We went ahead and started our comic strip versions of our fantasy stories. We read a good chunk of The Wind in the Willows. We corrected our math tests. We read about and discuss the solar system, a topic on which they already knew quite a bit!

Apparently yesterday's post did not make it to the Internet. We were again having some on and off network problems. Sorry for any confusion.

Homework: (1) Study spelling. (2) Division, Math, pages 218-219, 1-37, 39-43.

Also, a few students still need to complete the "Cat" study questions or the comic strip.
