Next Vocabulary Test/Wizard of Oz

Wrapping up before spring break...

These kids definitely have spring fever!  We had a big talk the other day about buckling down and staying focused.  I explained to them that we still have lots of work to do and not much time to do it.  Hopefully my talk got through to them! Hoping warmer weather comes soon so that they can burn off some of this energy.  :)

Only 5 more lessons to go after this one!  YAY!  

Wizard of Oz

We have started the state unit.  The main novel for this unit is the Wizard of Oz.  Although we haven't started reading it yet.  We are working on understanding the differences between the types of folktales.  This is an interesting unit and I hope the children enjoy it.  I will keep you posted as to when we actually start digging into the novel.  There will be some reading required at home.
