Ice Storms and This Week's Goals

I spent this weekend in Little Rock with my friend Edubs. We visited one of her friends from home and had a lovely time. the weather was incredibly wintery for Little Rock, so we holed up inside for most of the weekend, cooked, watched movies, and played Scrabble.

There is a possibility of a wintery mix hitting Shelby tonight. I've come down with a cold, so a day off of school would be absolutely lovely. I don't think it will happen, though, so... a day with the children will be absolutely lovely as well.

This week's goals: Students will be able to...

* Estimate the capacity of various containers in non-standard units (such as beans, blocks, or tennis balls)
* Read simple words containing the long e sound spelled "ee" or "ea"
* Describe the relationship between cups, pints, quarts, and gallons
* Make simple predictions about the ending of a story
* Write the names of holidays correctly (using a capital letter)
* Explain the purpose of recycling
