Peace Brother!  Tomorrow (Friday) we will travel back to the 60’s and dress like a Hippie!  Here are some hippie clues to help you think of something to wear:  Bell bottoms, beads, peace signs, tie-dye, flower power, vests, fringe, headbands, granny glasses and afros.   So hop aboard the psychedelic bus! I can’t wait to see you!

We sure had some crazy looking toes today!

We are working in a sea of green today!  Take a look at our page called “St. Patrick’s Day. ”   We are eating GREEN food!

Here’s a great place to do multiplication basic fact drill.  This is good, even for our graduates, to review and keep those skills sharp.  Use your arrow direction keys to rotate the spaceship and then fire with the spacebar.  Be speedy!

This will be a real test of your spelling abilities!  I hope you bookmark this one and use it daily.  What a great way to practice spelling!

The Spelling Bee

This little game is called VERB VIPER. You have to think SO fast to decide if you should use the word “is” or the word “are.”  Click in the “zone” before the viper grabs the word.  You have to be a very QUICK thinker!

At first glance you might think this little turtle game is pretty simple.  You simply choose the vowels that fit in the blank.  But computer turtles are racing your turtle and they are pretty speedy (for a turtle).  Anytime you have to think fast it seems more difficult.  Give this a try, and please let us know how you did!

I have never seen Southwest look more beautiful!  The halls are lined with fantastic art projects done by every single student.  The display case is one you won’t want to miss.  We even have some of our poetry displayed in our room.  At 6:30 the 4th graders are performing their musical “Westward Ho” in the gym.  At 7:00 parents will be able to tour the building looking at beautiful works of art.  I hope to see you!

Sarah blew us away today with her speed as she became our next MuLtIpLiCaTiOn MaDnEsS graduate.  Let’s let her know how great we think she is!  Congratulations Sarah!

To play this game you need to remember that ANTONYMS are two words that are OPPOSITES.  You will be given a word, and you click on the word that means the OPPOSITE!  It’s hilarious!
