Happy Friday!!
The time is just flying by! The 2nd
trimester is over and we are in the home stretch. Report cards went home today. Please be sure
to review and ask your child what they can do or continue doing to achieve
their goals. Please remember to sign the
envelope and send it in.
Thank you
also to all the parents who were able to come to Walk Through the
Revolution. The kids did a fantastic
job! Thanks to Justine Dachille and Karen Arnett for score keeping.
Upcoming events:
1. Language Arts: We are reading Toliver’s Secret. When
her grandfather is injured, 10-year-old Ellen Toliver replaces him on a
top-secret patriotic mission. Disguised as a boy, she manages to smuggle a
message to General George Washington. It fits in perfectly with where we are in
History.
2. Social
Studies: We are studying early
colonial life. We have a project due March
29th about a Revolutionary War Hero to help us understand our next topic in
history. They are to write a one page
typed paper about a hero and make a puppet to represent their person. Each child has made a calendar for themselves
to keep on track and not rushing at the last minute. This is great practice for being organized in
6th grade and Jr. High. They
have also received summary sheets to use to write the two paragraphs.
We will also
be having a DOG test on weeks 1- 20 on Tuesday, March 20th.
4. Science: We are finishing up Mixtures and Solutions
and the Periodic table and are moving on to the Human Body in the next
week. Our end of the unit test will be
Thursday, March 22nd.
Wonderful
work for those who participated in the Science-o-Rama!
5. 5th Grade Movie: The 5th grade teachers will be holding their auction event on Friday, March 30th.
