Bear In There
by Shel Silverstein
There's a Polar Bear
In our Frigidaire-He likes it 'cause it's cold in there.
With his seat in the meat
And his face in the fish
And his big hairy paws
In the buttery dish,
He's nibbling the noodles,
He's munching the rice,
He's slurping the soda,
He's licking the ice.
And he lets out a roar
If you open the door.
And it gives me a scare
To know he's in there-That Polary Bear
In our Fridgitydaire.

We will continue to work on
Light—reflection, refraction, absorption, and shadows. The lessons are in Chapter 9 of the Science Text online. I have again
revised the Light Test date to
October 29 so that we have
more opportunity to conduct
additional investigations and
because the children were already taking two assessments
this week.
Readings and investigations in
class are followed by discussion
and questions (answers are given during the discussion) that
your children should be answering in class. Many of these class
assignments are graded. I do
give the children an opportunity
to fix their work if it is less than
70%.
Social Studies
Your children will be learning
about maps and globes and
cardinal and intermediate directions in the next two weeks. The
brainpopjr video clip on Maps
will be helpful for them to review.
