The Daily Column

...as in Doric, Ionic and Corinthian (as well as air-dry clay and lots of toilet paper rolls) - NOT as in "newspaper."

We have been working on "building" Greek columns for quite a few days this week and I think we will devote one more hour or so to completing them next week.

Room 503 looks quite...hmmm...clay-ful at the end of each work session (I am sure our new maintenance man loves us), and, for the most part, there is some excellent work being done.

This weekend the Sixth Graders are beginning a new book in Language Arts The Book of Three (an ALA Notable Book) by Lloyd Alexander, and are continuing to read Greek mythology stories (this weekend, Perseus the Gorgon-Slayer).

Look for a note going out next Monday regarding Friday, February 13th's special Finally it's Friday activities...it should be a day full of fun, interactive, educational, and quite physical events.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Cheers,
Ms. Pitman
