I hope you enjoyed the beautiful weather this weekend! Today is our last day of IAR testing. It is also a very busy final week before Spring Break.
Passion Projects: Students will present their final passion project product on Friday. I am excited to see all of the learning! We will spend time in class tomorrow (Tuesday) and Thursday if students need to work on their projects, but minimal homework will be assigned this week so students can work on it at home as well. Again the project is very open-ended.
Social Studies Neighborhood Group Project: Students will use Social Studies time in class to complete the group project. Although I have not assigned a due date, I believe students will finish up near Thursday. After Spring Break, we will start our last Science unit.
Reading: Students will finish Sign of the Beaver this week. As we finish the novel, students will spend time evaluating the multiple perspectives in the book and determining which perspective aligns with their own thinking. Students will also work on a perspectives writing activity using different point of views.
Math: IAR testing concludes today. Students will participate in a Math Mania assembly this afternoon. Tomorrow we will continue with our Unit 6 math lessons. I am going to hold off on the Unit 6 math assessment until after Spring Break- we have a lot of projects going on and just finished testing, so I believe this will be the best option.
Book Fair: Our class will visit the book fair tomorrow- Tuesday, April 9th. If you'd like to send money with your child, please send it in a labeled ziplock bag. The book fair will be open all week.
Conferences: I am looking forward to seeing all of you at conferences this Wednesday. I sent home time confirmations with your child last week. Please email me if you still need to schedule a conference.
Friday Folders: "Friday" Folders will go home today. We were in a rush last Thursday afternoon and didn't get a chance to pass them out. Please look over the work with your child and return to school.
