In honor of FUN DAY FRIDAY. . . Because you have managed this week with a snow day of brimming with school work, tomorrow we will think outside of our normal schedule!!  We will enjoy a morning of hot cocoa and plenty of independent reading and poetry.   In the afternoon, we will put the ancient Egyptians to shame as we attempt to construct our own pyramids out of SNOW!  So be sure to your snow gear for an afternoon of engineering fun!  Can't wait!!!

See you tomorrow, 

Mrs. Kelly

Traveling with Paul Salopek

Dear Fifth Grade History Students,
You all have been introduced to Mr. Paul Salopek, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and National Geographic Fellow, who is attempting to walk in the footsteps of our ancestors, following their migration out of Africa to the lowest point of South America.  He began his journey two years ago, and it will take him seven years to cover 21,000 miles, primarily on foot.

Now you will have a chance to "travel" with Mr. Salopek by keeping up with his latest posts from Turkey and beyond.  Just click on the link below. You won't believe the places he goes (some very familiar) and the people he meets. Enjoy!
