For the past few days in science, we've been discussing Pluto's status as a dwarf planet.

Ask your child today about why Pluto was labeled a dwarf planet in August of 2006.

Today in Writers' Workshop, we read the book, Enemy Pie. We talked about times we were tricked and students wrote in their writers' notebooks times when they were tricked. These will become possible ideas when we begin our new unit of study on Memoirs.
