Tuesday: Field Day (in AM) check weather and dress accordingly
Wednesday 6/5: last day of school, regular start time, not a late start Wednesday, dismissal at 10:25
The fifth grade farewell turned out wonderfully today! Thank you so much to all the parents that organized and volunteered their time...it was a lot of work, especially with all the rescheduling. The kids (and I) had fun and there was something for everyone!
In these last few days of school, we are wrapping up several things. The kids are finishing up their memoirs, and some have begun writing a memoir from the point of view of their favorite stuffed animal.
We are done with spelling for the year, so no list or homework this week.
The kids came up with really great questions for their Civil War inquiries...please ask your child what "big question" they are focusing on. I've put students in groups based mostly on their interest in a particular question. Mrs. May put together a lot of resources and I found lots of great books at the public library to help us as well. The kids just started diving into their question, but we will spend a lot of reading/writing/social studies time learning and discussing their findings. Ultimately, each group will determine a way to share their learning with the rest of the class. I'm hoping for something creative here...we've done a lot of different things throughout the year (posters, prezis, powerpoints, skits) so it will be interesting to see what they come up with!
Many students should be presenting their research and current events this week as well.
