Just a reminder there is music homework.  It is due on Monday and it is on page 11 of your precorder book.  Thank you Cameron for reminding me of this.  Cameron's job this week is classroom reminder.  He is responsible for reminding me of all the things I forget :)

We are currently working on writing Cinquain poems.  These poems follow a specific pattern.  There are 5 lines in this poem and each line has a certain number of syllables.  The pattern goes like this 2,4,6,8,2.  Can you write a cinquain and post it on this blog.

In math we are currently working on growing patterns.  We did a visual journal page today to demonstrate what we know about growing patterns.  Do you know the other name for a growing pattern?

During our inquiry time together, we listened to Malala's speech to the United Nations.  Here are some of the important messages we received:
- every child has the right to education
- one child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world
- Malala has learned to forgive
- strength was born after she was injured
- her injury created strength and courage not fear and weakness

What do you think is the most important message that Malala told us in her speech to the UN?

Have a wonderful evening!
