Hi Friends,

I hope you are enjoying no homework Wednesday nights. I just got back from a great run around Colby Lake and then my husband and I spent sometime doing some gardening. We were having fun watching the neighbors get everything set up for the Woodbury Days Garage Sale this weekend. Are any of your families having a garage sale? I am looking for a kitchen table and chairs. Let me know if you see any for sale.

We had a busy day. We finished our discussion on Greek heroism--we compared three heroes and their character traits. We also took a reading comprehension quiz on the myths we read.

We are starting a music unit on classical, romantic and baroque music styles. Today we talked about the purpose behind composing a piece of music today vs. 200 years ago. We listened to Beethoven's 5th Symphony, the Hallelujah Chorus and Papageno from Mozart's, "The Magic Flute."

Remember that tomorrow is the all school assembly--do you think we won Boxer this time?? Then we have our all school picture outside. Keep bringing in those carnival basket donations. We have some great items so far.

Can you believe the weekend is getting close? What plans do you have for Mother's Day?
Shhh--don't tell. Tomorrow we will work on a special something for our moms:-) I went shopping and bought all of our supplies. We will have fun.

Have a great night.

If you are looking for something to do--you may work on math, read for 20 minutes and spend time with your families:-)
