The Fifth of November
Remember, remember!

The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no
reason
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes
‘Twis his intent.
To blow up the King and the Parliament.
Three score barrels of powder below.
Poor old England to overthrow.
By God’s providence he was catch’d
With a dark lantern and burning match
Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! let the bells ring!
Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!

Today we spent a period of spelling lesson #8 and we also read our last
chapter of Anne of Green Gables. We completed the last set of comprehension
questions as well.
Homework - Remember to
read for 30 minutes each night!

MATH:
Today we looked at measuring capacity in millimeters and liters. Remember 1000 mL = 1 L, 2 L = 2000 mL, 1500
mL = 1.5 L and 2.5 L = 2500 mL. A millimeter measures smaller items (juice box)
and liters measures bigger items (bucket of water).
