Pool Day Tomorrow!

Weekly News: Week 37

This week found our Pioneers traversing the Oregon Trail, with varying degrees of success. Everyone discovered just how hard it was to move across the Plains in a covered wagon and all the challenges that came with it.  It was also our last week of science with Ms. Britto where they ended the year learning about elements and the periodic table!



Only four more days of elementary school! And what a busy last week of school we are going to have! Below I've listed all of the events happening during the last week of school. We will be having our class party on Thursday, following Field Day. Our room parent, Sonia Joshi sent out a link for the items needed. I hope you will considering bringing in something for our last party of the year. The link can be found HERE.

Open House Tomorrow!

Hope to see you all at tomorrow's Open House! The classroom will be open from 6:30pm-7:30pm. The class has been hard at work and has a lot to show off.

Since we have a lot of Digital Projects this year, it is recommended that you download a QR Code Reader onto your phone prior to visiting the room. The app is free to download. Here's an example of an iPhone app. Having this on your phone will allow you access to your student's Digital Portfolio.

The Art Show will be in the MPR and is open from 6pm-8pm. Stop by and see a piece of your child's artwork!

Weekly News: Week 35

This week was our first week of state testing and the class did a great job! It can be a little overwhelming to spend your mornings reading passages and answering questions, all while staying really quiet, but the class handled it really well!

We also finished our kites, which looked wonderful hanging from the ceiling in our room. They are ready to be viewed at Open House this Thursday. The school year is winding down pretty quickly and there is still so much to come.

Our last Social Studies unit will be a pioneer unit featuring the Oregon Trail. The class has been divided into six Wagon Companies, and has been making key decisions in what items their wagon brings with them on their journey to the Willamette Valley. Along the way the wagons will encounter choices that could ultimately decide their fates.... it should be a great way to wrap up 5th grade.


Just a reminder... we have the Math CAT tomorrow morning. Please be on time to school! We start right at 8:15.
