Today started out with a Hawks' Nest assembly. We heard about the new quality of the month: Honesty. We also learned that next Friday is going to be a hat day. We're looking forward to wearing the craziest hats we can find!

During music we talked about different instruments. One of the topics we talked about was violins and fiddles. We learned that violins and fiddles are really the same instrument, but describe different ways of playing the instrument.

We were excited about having outdoor recess again, after we had to stay inside yesterday because of the rain. Many students in our class helped to organize a game of Capture the Flag.

Today instead of reading TO our buddies, we listened to The Trumpet of the Swan WITH our buddies. We tried talking to them a little about what we were reading, but we found out that they're not as used to talking about books as we are. We've grown a lot since we were in kindergarten and first grade!

Questions to think about over the weekend:
Why do violins and fiddles have a different name when they're the same instrument?

How do clouds form?
