We Made It! Thank You for a Good Year!

Friday's Fun Field Day

Well, we'll have one more day together before going our separate ways.  You have some great kids! 

Monarch Perform Human Timeline with Perfection

I will be getting pictures to you from our Human Timeline today.  The News also came to take pictures of everyone.  If I can figure out how to post it, we also videotaped the kids talking to the museum visitors.  Thank you for your help with costumes.

Tomorrow is field day.

Ahh....End of a BIG Auction Day

Tomorrow:  Human Timeline 9:00 - 11:00         Award's Day 1:30

Lauryn and Addy babysit one of our class chicks.  The chicks make for a very exciting week.

Tomorrow is our official dress rehearsal for our Human Timeline.  Please listen to your child's script to see that they have it memorized, have good eye contact, and a nice, strong voice.

Eggstra! Eggstra! Read all about It!

Human Timeline Thursday  9:00-11:00

Meet Mt. Rushmore:  Kaleb, Christian, Jacob, and Ethan.    Awesome!!

We have about 30 chicks already.  Tomorrow is their due date, so we'll see how many more by this time tomorrow.  How EGGciting!  They are adorable!!!

Award's Day Thursday 1:30

Chicks Take A Trip

Big thank you to Lucy Sinders for babysitting our eggs this morning.  We were without power beginning about 7:00 this morning.  I took our 6 incubators to get warm at Lucy's.  Then Lucy lost power so Stacy came and took them to her house until power came back on at school.  Crazy morning!  THANK YOU to STACY and LUCY!!  Hopefully, with all their help, all the chicks will be well next week when it is time to hatch on Tuesday.

The lack of power delayed taking our last ISTEP until tomorrow at 10:15. 

I will be sending home bus lists and itinerary for our trip tomorrow.

Practice parts for Human Timeline.

Ahh....Only One Test to Go

We will test first thing tomorrow morning for our final social studies test.  Make-ups will be Thursday.

Our hour of reading needs to be turned in tomorrow.

Please continue asking your child to recite SLOWLY their part in our human timeline.  Their eyes need to slowly scan the crowd just as the statues at museums do.  I'd like to have a dress rehearsal this Thursday, so we can see what we still need.

Don't forget to get our monarch t-shirts clean and ready for Friday.

Only Social Studies ISTEP Left

We completed our Reading/Language Arts ISTEP at the end of the day.  Tomorrow we will test at 10:10 for our Social Studies.

Please ask your child to practice their human timeline script over the weekend.  I would like for them to be memorized by Monday.  Also, please write on their script card what their outfit is going to look like.  We plan to perform this on Thursday, the 16th.  We will  be scheduling between  9:00-11:00 for all the classrooms.

Have a great weekend!

MATH ISTEP COMPLETED

Tomorrow we will be taking our first Reading/Language Arts ISTEP at 12:20. 

We still have several students who have not written down their 2-3 sentence speech for the human timeline.  Please ask your child to tell them their part tonight to see how it sounds.  We need to be working on getting their outfit completed too.  If you need help in finding something, please let me know.

I am hoping that everyone is ready to begin their hardback memory book by the first of next week.  That means that they have turned in their rough copies of  at least 9 paragraph memories.  The last three chapters MAY wait until after the chicks hatch, we've gone to St. Louis, and have performed the human timeline.  Parts of those memories can be finished before, but some details can follow after the actual experience.  Each of these paragraphs are earning points for the language grade, so they are important to do your best writing before I check them.

Need all permission slips tomorrow so that I can give the cafeteria an accurate count for St. Louis suppers. 
I also need signed midterm grades returned tomorrow. 

Yippee! First Test Accomplished!

We worked hard on our first math ISTEP test this morning.  The problems were what we were expecting....so hopefully,....we did well.  Tomorrow we should be taking our second math test.

Our third paragraph entry for 5th grade memories should be turned in by tomorrow morning.  Please look over each entry before it is turned in.  (I am taking points for each one.)  After 12 entries, we will begin our official hardcopy bare book.

Our RTI groups are reading a book together.  They may need to read some each evening to finish the chapter for the day.  This time can count for their Reading Super Bowl.
