Welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful Spring Vacation. We are down to our last few months of 5th grade and these final months are jammed packed! I want to remind you of several upcoming events/dates…
Next week students are scheduled to begin the Smarter Balanced Assessment. I want to suggest some sites to give you more information on testing. PPS Overview of the SBAC tests and Common Core: http://www.pps.net/Page/732 and State of Oregon Notice about Assessments including Opt Out information: http://www.ode.state.or.us/superintendent/priorities/opt-out-final.pdf Please contact me with questions, comments, or concerns.
I’m really enjoying conferencing with students on their Passion Projects. Don’t forget these projects are due May 3rd. I will continue to meet with students once a week to check-in on their progress. Please check Passion Project folders every weekend to see notes from these conferences. The final product/presentation should reflect the efforts of two months’ work.
We are bringing back the art of sewing in Room 21! We will begin a sewing project next week. Somehow those pesky little needles always seem to disappear so if you have any extra needles at home please send them our way.
