Happy Earth Day!
I hope you enjoyed the Funky Junk Slideshow with all the creative ideas and ways to recycle. Once again this group showed their awesome creativity.
Wow-What a beautiful day for Earth Day!! Hopefully you are out enjoying nature and/or helping to clean it up.
This week is going to be another busy week. We are going to finish up our rock unit by making crystals and geodes and then we will do a short segment on fossils to get us ready for our Fossil Dig field trip on May 24th. After this week, we will go into whale migration as a continuation of our Alaska studies.
In Reading, we are starting our new book called "Riding Freedom". It is an awesome story and your child will have to much to share with you about it. After we finish the book, we are taking the field trip out to Ms. Erickson's Ranch. The Read 180 students will be given a copy of the book to read as they are going on the field trip with us and it will be a much better connection if they will have read the story.
In Math, we are going to dig deeper into our curriculum along with using a protractor & compass to measure and draw different sizes and kinds of angles.
Remember that on Wednesday, April 25th, the Recorder Concert is at 1:30. If you are unable to make it or want relatives to see it, make sure they go to the "You better believe" live stream website so they can watch it live. The note for this with the website went home with your child on Friday.
CELEBRATION DAY TOMORROW!!!! Yes, we are going to go outside tomorrow from 1-2 to celebrate the awesome job these kids did on their NWEA tests. WOW-They by far exceeded my expectations especially in Math. I am so so excited about all the growth they made this year in all 3 subject areas. Now they realize that all the hard work and effort pays off. They truly are close to being 5th graders.
One final note: I am going to be gone on Wed.-Friday so there will be a sub. It is going to be Mrs. Mullber. She has been in the building lots before and they may have had her in earlier grades. I have a chance to spend a few days with my sisters, nieces, and god-children in Denver and want to take full advantage of that. I am so looking forward to some fun "girl" time. I know these kids will do great showing positive character as they know what is expected of them.
Have a great rest of your weekend.
