Class Notes 11/23

I can’t believe it’s almost December! Our schedule has been packed here in 5th grade.  Between art rotations, Science Camp, gallery visits, Reed Science, and then Bike Safety, we’ve barely been in the classroom.  Even though this week is short we are attempting to get back to a regular schedule.  We are beginning our Native American unit but we may not send home the home project until after Thanksgiving break.

I mentioned last week that we are beginning a Native American unit. This unit will include an at home project that will involve building a dwelling representative of the group that your child is focusing on. More information will go home next week. This project will be due a week before winter vacation, giving students three weekends to work on it.

I want to take a moment to thank all of you parents that have been so involved this year.  It’s such a pleasure to work in a community with supportive parents and fabulous students.  Thank you for sharing your amazing children with me and I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.
