Friday!!

Friday is here! I must say that this week has seemed long. We have accomplished a lot this week.
We started learning about measurement: length, width, capacity, etc. Some of this is review which has made for an easy math week. It's also has been since for the kids because they feel like they already know it.
We have also been working on writing space stories and illustrations. Their stories, either fiction or nonfiction were based on something from space. Then their illustrations match their story or report. Then we put it all together and sent it in to a company to be officially published and bound. The kids are really excited! When we get the books back we will have an author's tea where each student will read their story out loud. They are definitely looking forward to that!
We also received our pen pal letters this week and started writing back today. I'm originally from Oregon so our pen pal class is a friend of mine from there. Each time that envelope shows up my kids are so happy, it's wonderful!
Cheers to Friday and another week of the best job with the best kids!
