Happy Earth Day! Welcome back to another great week at Gretna Green. French - Books have been exchanged. Please read your book nightly.  We will be continuing with our Spring theme throughout the week. If time permits, we will do some cursive writing. Math - We are continuing our unit on multiplication and division up to 5x5. I am very pleased with their progress thus far! Duo-tangs will be sent home on Tuesday with homework to complete for Friday. Science - Our grass seeds have sprouted. We took the opportunity today to discuss the parts of a plant. We then measured individual lengths and recorded our findings. Throughout the week, we will investigate plants requirements. Here’s hoping our beans and flowers sprout soon as well. Health - Health class will incorporate math this week. We will be measuring the length and diameter of our hands, feet, arms, wrist, heads etc. We will use the data to create a bar chart. ***Reminders*** ·         Drama continues Monday and Wednesday ·         Wednesday is pocorn day (0.50$) ·         Wednesday is also the Grade 5 Yard Sale ·         Thursday is library and Mad Science (for those who signed up) ·         Friday is Career Day.
