To trust…. Or not to trust?
After reading An Extraordinary
Egg by Leo Lionni, the students had discussions about why the author wrote
the book, or what the moral of the story was.
Many students came to the conclusion that it was something about trust.
Look inside their eggs (posted outside room 116)! Did you “trust” that was what was going to be inside?
Then, ask yourself these
questions: Often we believe we have
knowledge because of testimony from other people - can such information be
knowledge? Do the words of other people give us a basis for believing
something? How do we determine which testimony to trust? Does it depend on how
the people speaking to us know what they think they know? How often do we hold
onto our beliefs even in the face of evidence that they are not true?
This flyer was sent home today with your child:
Reading With Reptiles – An evening that focuses on both science and literacy, featuring fiction and non-fiction books and live reptiles.
Please return the bottom portion by April 24th. You only need to send in one for your family. Thank you!
Another poem brought in by a student! A bit difficult to read with that beautiful pink gel ink, so I typed what is written!
There is a thing under the string, it is called the zing, it is a winged ink. It slimes around and tells the future!
There is something you should be scared of, it is in a box that got delivered to me- a cube kitten. From Grandma and Grandpa

Today the students were given a pretest to determine which spelling group they would be in. Then they practiced their words, by writing them on a white board. Some students had fun testing themselves with the words. Remember, your student can go to www.spellingcity.com to practice their words!
