MID OCTOBER UPDATE

Last week was very successful and productive.  I am very proud of our kids for collecting about $250.00 to help CCUA fight hunger.  We enjoyed our time there and sharing our donation.  We look forward to working with this group more this year. At the same time, students were very focused and productive this week on the projects out lined below.  I am taking time on Thursday to reward the kids for their recent efforts.   Let me know if you have questions about the work below.  The POWWOW theme packet will come home this week. The 5th grade team needed more time to solidify dates.

READING: Book Clubs and Literature Journal #3 with a focus on predictions
WRITING/SS: Each historian is writing a paragraph that will turn into a comprehensive website on a NA topic
SCIENCE:  While we wait for our red clover plants to grow for experiment #3, we are organizing our most inspirational observations to begin planning our community project
MATH: We will practice 2 different division strategies this week


Thank you for all the birthday wishes for Nola.  She had a blast at her party as you can see below. There is also a picture of an organism Max identified in a guide book.
