This is our week....

Howdy all. I am going easy on the kids this week. We will be wrapping the STAR assessments this Tuesday and Thursday, with make-ups on Friday (if necessary). Kids should utilize their time this week to complete their WWII projects. They are due next Monday. A schedule of presentation schedules will be posted here on Thursday or Friday (at the latest).

We are near completing our poetry unit and will start assembling our books soon.
We are 10 lessons out from completing our math book, and then will begin an introduction to 5th grade curriculum.
We have one literature unit to complete!
We are in the exact middle of our final book study of the year, Farewell to Manzanar. It's not the kids favorite book of the year, but the material is priceless.
We begin rehearsals for our play, "Villains in the Gold Fields", next Monday. We start filming in two weeks.
Depending on the auction this Friday, our classroom mural project will occur during the last two weeks of school.

Green Folders have our camping schedule. If tyou have yet to submit permission slips and food money, please do so ASAP. I have arranged for pizza from Pizza 1 and am working with Safeway to get bagels and fruit for the morning.

This week kids are responsible for:

-Reading Log (Last one, due Friday)
-continue work with WWII and science projects

Respectfully, Mr. B
