Full Moon?

At about 11:20 this morning I Googled "full moon" to see if it was in fact a full moon today.  It is not.  But there is one on Wednesday 3/09 (in case you are interested).  The reason for my celestial wondering was caused by the pandemonium of the class this morning.  It other words, they were "wild".  I am not sure if was the no homework from last night, the wave of green clothes, Trav sharing that even his underwear was green, or that was Friday. 

full moon

noun

1. the phase of the moon in which its whole disk is illuminated.

   • the time when the moon's whole disk is illuminated.

     "it was several days after full moon"

Nevertheless, it was an eventful morning.  We read Green Eggs and Ham.  It was a hit and we were even able to discuss the THEME of the story.  We decided that persistence and taking risks were both apparent themes! Would YOU try green eggs and ham? 

We did our spelling tests, worked on finding the perimeter of all the rooms in a floor plan, and corrected our dictation sentences.  Despite the hullabaloo, it was the end of a fun week.
