1) Socks is fat.

2) Socks eats too much.

3) Socks is spoiled.

4) Socks sits of the couch and listens to my piano students at their lessons.

5) Socks is a Tabby Cat.

• Our required curricular Language Arts learning activity next week is writing a reasearch paper. Each student has selected an animal to research about and discover new information.The students have been working hard in class collecting facts off of the internet and typing them onto a fact sheet. They will be inserting a picture of their animal next week. Mrs. Shore and I will be sending home a "research paper" guide packet. Some of the work will be completed at school. The final copy will be "shined" up at home. The students have had a great time looking at their pictures and logging onto seaworld.org and wikipedia.org to look up information on their animal. Technology is alive and well in our classroom.
• Keep a heads up for the spelling words for next week. I will post them on Sunday evening.
• **New Question for the week: List five different synonyms for the word muddy. Good Luck!

The answer to the posted question last week (What are the names of the five great lakes in North America?) Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, and Lake Superior. I thinks of the word HOMES to help me remember these lakes.
