THANK YOU!! I can not express my gratitude at all of your generosity towards me during this year’s teacher appreciation week. Everyone is so darn giving that if I am not careful, I may put back on all 18 pounds that I have lost since January. I hope you realize that my entire family is really really appreciative of all your largess that you have spoiled upon me this school year. THANK YOU.
Today is our final full week before next week’s state testing begins.
The spelling words for the week are all Lewis and Clark related. Click here for words.
DEAR time -- reading for enjoyment.
Lewis and Clark --

They will “winter” in the Mandan Villages. (What is now Bismarck, North Dakota)
Native Americans were intrigued by York they never have seen a black man. He becomes extremely popular with the tribes throughout the journey.
Jan 5th 1805 – they do a buffalo dance to bring the buffalo back and it works!!
Feb. 11 1805 Sacagawea delivers a young boy while in the Mandan village. Jean Baptiste aka Pomp April 7 1805 the Corps leaves the Mandan village and they head West!!

We are reading the book through the “eyes” of Seaman’s adventures as he helps the Corps of Discovery. Students will be doing research, writing two essays and answering inference questions throughout our reading time.
Math and Language Arts practice
Students received their practice tests for next week’s tests. These tests also replicate the actual tests with the same % of question types and same verbiage used in the state testing. It will be part of our nightly practice and then daily refocu where we will work on areas that stumped the class.
