Quarter 3/Week 10

   Only one quarter left!! I can't believe how fast time is flying by! In Reading, we finished reading Mr. Blue Jeans. This is a biography about Levi Strauss. We also reviewed for the vocabulary quiz and test. Your child should have came home with notes on both of these so they can study. We will review both quiz and test again in class before they take them. The quiz is on Tuesday and the Test on Thursday.  In between the quiz and test, we are going to design and create our blue jeans products. Students will then sell or barter their items in class just as Levi did. I am very excited for this project:) In 4th and 5th Grade Writing, we worked on Opinion Writing and started practicing for the Smarter Balanced test.  We will continue to practice for the Smarter Balanced tests this coming up week.  In Projects, we continued to observe our terrariums and should have taken them home on Thursday. We created our own garden plans and listened to guest speakers from Lattin Farms. This week we will finish creating our gardens and finish up the Ecosystem and Organisms Project. We will change tribes and do some tribes activites. Students will start their new jobs and we will have a couple more days of auctions.  I will also set up times for parent/teacher conferences. I will set this up on signupgenius.com again, so please be looking for that email sometime within the next week.

I hope you all have a great weekend!
