Thursday and Friday

Howdy all. We are continuing to explore California history at the turn of the 20th century this week. We are looking at the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge and how the Depression and Dust Bowl affected the economy. Grim stuff, but interesting nonetheless.
Friday brings us the wrap up of literature unit five. We'll be working on the Theme 5 assessment tomorrow, and wrapping up spring fluency work next week.
Friday also brings us deeper into the world of rocks and minerals. We've been attempting to grow crystals, but the process is a slow one. Hopefully we get enough grown by the end of the school year so that each child will have their own pet crystal.
We'll be enjoying a picnic lunch on Cow Hill tomorrow. If at all possible, kids should bring a bag lunch.

Folks are responsible for the following tonight:

-Reading Log (due next Friday, not tomorrow)
-Math lesson 104 (all)
-continue with science and WWII reports
-Number the Stars study packet due in class tomorrow

Respectfully, Mr. B
