Spring vacation is only two weeks away and we are trying to wrap up several projects. In writing, students are writing persuasive pieces and their arguments are strong :) This is always a favorite writing style for fifth graders. In math, we are learning to find the volume and surface area of rectangular prisms. This is a short, two week unit.
We are taking a trip to Sellwood Middle School on Wednesday. Students will have the opportunity to get a lay of the land and see first hand what middle school is like. Can you believe they are going to middle school next year!?! We also have Ms. Gina visiting our classroom this week to do some art with the kids. If all goes well, we will display this latest piece at Art Night in May.
Students are working hard on their Passion Projects. These projects are due May 3rd. I will be meeting with students once a week to check-in on their progress. Please check Passion Project folders every weekend to see notes from these conferences. Please let me know if you have any questions. The final product/presentation should reflect the efforts of two months’ work.
Don’t forget -- The Lewis Play production of Midsummer Night’s Dream is just around the corner. Performances are on Thursday, March 17th and Friday, March 18th.
