Parent Update - 6/1/2009
Hello all,
Well, we are down to the last few weeks of the year amazingly enough. Honestly, it does seem that it was just last month, your children walked into the classroom for the first time. It's surprising how quickly the school year has gone and already I am seeing how many things I will miss not being around this great group of people pretty soon.
I know the students are ready for summer but we still have a lot of things to do. This week we will continue with Unit 11 in math and end the week with the assessment test on Friday. Spelling will resume this week and next. We will also continue our study of electricity with lessons on conductivity and insulators. I think everyone is really having a great time learning about and exploring electricity and electrical concepts. We will also start on our last small project of California Innovators this week, most of which will be done in class. Our book clubs have changed for the end of the year with students working individually or in small groups reading self-selected (and approved) books finishing with a short book review and recommendations for summer reading. I am doing as many reading assessments as I can during class and specials times. So far, everyone has moved up one, two or three levels in reading since the beginning of the year. Hurrah!
We would like to have an end of the year party the last week of school. I do think I need help with this as my energy level is waning a bit. Most classes are having class picnics at various parks or beaches on Tuesday, June 16th. We are hoping to coordinate with Ms. Arnow's class to be together for that day. If any of you have the time and energy to help with this, please let me know and we can decide on a place and the timing of the event.
I will be out of the classroom on Friday for a personal day.
