I do not think I will ever get used to sending parent newsletters home on Monday. I have always thought of these letters as a capstone of the week with information for the next week. So, I hope you remembered to help students get ready for today’s hike. The weather looks cloudy, but it should be warm. Later in the week, Thursday, the 5th - 8th grade is going to the Black House (Woodlawn) for the day. Students will need bag lunches and clothing for the whatever weather we might have. Last week, we finished the Fountas & Pinnell reading benchmarks, worked on prefixes and suffixes, and building words. This week, we will continue to work on vocabulary and on spelling unit 5. The 6th graders will spend the next few weeks learning when to use and how to convert between fractions, decimal and percents. Last week in social studies, we studied the Sumerians and their contributions to culture. This week, we begin to study other peoples of the Fertile Crescent and then we will move on to early Egypt. On Friday, the 6th graders made applesauce for the class. It was a nice afternoon treat and it took very little time. Later this week, we are hoping for a few nice hours so that we can plant our tulips.
