Fun Night 🦁

This week has been wonderful out at Lake McBride and now Fun Night is tomorrow from 4pm-7pm! I hope to see you all there! There will be fun things to do in every classroom, and 6th grade has a pretty awesome surprise game located in the art room. I can't wait to see all the families having fun!

Next week we will start to make our way back to a normal schedule, although we still have two field trips: North Central on Tuesday and South East on Friday. 🚌 We will have the day arranged around these two trips so that the students will not miss anything or have any make-up work.

Please keep in mind that weekly math will be coming home that is due Friday and a current event will also be expected. Some students forgot their current events for today, so I will expect those to come to school completed on Monday morning. ✅

In writing we will be continuing our work with character development and figuring out what a character really wants. This will help gain a deeper understanding of characters and an overall purpose to a story. 📚 We are also continuing our work with Esperanza Rising in reading. The students have been doing a great job of responding to the text, so I hope to see that same level of effort next week! Social studies is wrapping up with our Westward Expansion projects, which I am hoping to present toward the end of the week.

Math will bring a new topic: measures of center and variability. This consists of statistical questions, finding the mean, median, mode, and range, as well as making sense of a problem. The students will find this topic to be simple in math skills but possibly difficult in math explanation. We want to push the kids to understand why they are doing the particular steps and what it all means. Science will be moving forward with our understanding of living and nonliving with various explorations. We will start with looking at elodea under the microscope, followed by paramecium, and lastly our cheek cells! It should be a fun and interesting time! 🔬

Lastly, we will have our aReading test first thing on Monday morning so please be sure to get a good nights' sleep and a healthy breakfast! 🤓

Enjoy the lovely SPRING weather and I hope to see you all tomorrow evening! 🌷
