| Annabelle Haiku Poem |

| Mrs. Coughlan's Bamboo |
The girls enjoyed writing Haiku poems and painting their Bamboo. Mrs. Cavallo shared a video that makes the process very easy. We will be putting these up out in the hall for our spring bulletin board. Art is definitely not a strength of mine, but I embraced the challenge and my first try is shown above. I think we all struggled to keep our bamboo straight!
To celebrate National Women's History Month, the girls were assigned a famous woman and we read Margaret Wise's book The Important Thing. Then the girls wrote a poem including a few important events from her life. You can see these poems out in the hall as well.

In math, we had several lengthy review sessions for the Measurement test, which the girls took this past Friday. Even though they were allowed to use all of their notes on the test, I could tell the girls studied very hard and came prepared with knowing how to work out all of the problems. I am very pleased with the results! We will begin talking about decimals this week. Also, there will be no Pick 8 contract for the rest of March and April. I am asking the girls to complete the Greg Tang Spring Challenge instead. Mrs. McCallum did a great job of organizing the links in the above spreadsheet and making it very easy for the girls to complete the activities. Here is a link to the website if you'd like more information. You can print the gameboards off of the website and I will be sending hard copies home as well.
In history, they read about what life was like during the 1920's. For example, how airplanes and automobiles became popular, how immigration patterns and music changed, and a little bit about the famous "Flapper" girl. They summarized their findings in their journals. We will take a quick look at The The Great Depression this week and start our unit on Immigration. The girls were asked to think of a country they would like research for this unit. I will assign countries on Monday, March 25th. All of the research will be completed in class and we will conclude the unit with Immigration Day, which will take place in May. More information to come on this.
