May Is Here!!!

April showers bring May flowers.....and now that May is here, the sneezing and general allergy attacks continues! I grew up with severe allergies. I spent many miserable days/nights also sneezing, being stuffed up, and rubbing my eyes. I truly feel your pain! Hopefully, though, now that the air conditioner in the building is on, maybe there will be some relief for our sneezers! Oh, we're OUT of hand sanitizer, so feel free to donate ASAP!

I turned in our box tops for counting on Friday ~ hopefully everyone's efforts pushed us to the top. If not, thank you for participating!

Also, thank you to Mr. Rashidi for again coming to our classroom and sharing his knowledge and expertise on science. I know his suggestions will be very helpful for you as you prepare for the Science Fair. There were SO many great ideas ~ I'm looking forward to seeing your final projects and displays. I do have a few tri-display boards, so if you need one, please let me know. Remember, www.sciencebuddies.org is a great site to help you ~ just make sure the final product reflects your OWN work, words, and conclusions.

Our "Reading Around the World" project is underway! You should all have your books by tomorrow (Monday, May 3) to share in class. I know you will enjoy this project and the fun culminating food activity. Keep up on the reading and take advantage of the class time you will receive to work. I will be giving you the full assignment guidelines this week, but for now, READ!!

You all seem to have taken a strong interest in Astronomy! That's VERY cool! I read online about a new storm on Saturn. That's the great thing about this science; there is always something new happening and being "discovered." I'm looking forward to your planet projects and seeing your presentations this week.

Well, that's about it. Have a great week without sneezing!
