Weekly News: Week 34

The first week of May found us finishing up our study of graphing in Module 6, wrapping up our exploration of the Revolutionary War, and starting a few fun projects.

On Thursday we started putting together our Kites. This takes a lot of patience and attention to detail but the kids loved putting together the beginning frames for their Kites. We will be putting the finishing touches on our kites next week.

We also started our Geometry project... Geometrocity! Together with their table groups they will be designing their very own city complete with neighborhoods. This gives students a chance to put their Geometry knowledge to the test. The cities will be ready for viewing at Open House.

Donation Opportunity:
We are in need of paper road maps of the United States. If you belong to an auto club, like AAA, please consider stopping by a location and asking for a couple of their free road maps. We are in need of at least 11 maps to complete our Social Studies simulation. More information can be found HERE. Any help you can give is much appreciated!



Reminder: 
We start our CAASPP Testing on Monday. Please have all students at school on time as we begin testing right at 8:15am. I recommend bringing a book in case you finish the test early. This week we are taking the ELA portions of the state test.
