Happy Friday!

I think today was a great day!  We took all our end of week tests and when you were finished, you quietly worked until everyone was done.  I'm so excited about doing geometry the rest of the year.  Be sure to remember all the things we learned this year...I'll help remind you each day so you don't forget...order of operations, rounding, fractions, algebra...Wow!
We read about the Battle of Gettysburg today.  I'm so glad we aren't at war within our nation. We should get to the terrible story of Lincoln's assassination next week.  I'm getting excited at the idea of seeing all of you dressed up on May 11th for our Living Museum.  I hope you are researching and getting your costumes ready.
Today it was fun looking at some optical illusions with you.  They were amazing!  If you are looking for the site, it was at http://www.echalk.co.uk/amusements/OpticalIllusions/illusions.aspx.  Have fun looking at the rest and if you find one you really like, let me know so I can see it!
Enjoy your weekend profusely!
