Quarter 3/Week 9

   I was mistaken, we actually have 10 weeks in the third quarter. This coming up week, will be our last week in Quarter 3. :)

   In Reading, we started reading Mr. Blue Jeans, this is a story about Levi Strauss. It is a short book, we will finish this on Tuesday. We will review for the quiz and test on Wednesday and Thursday. Their quiz will be on Tuesday March 17, and their test will be on Thursday March 19. Our blue jean project will also start on Monday, March 16. If you have blue jean material that your child wants to use they can bring it in. If you don't, that is ok, one of our parents brought in a HUGE bag of blue jeans. Thank you for that donation! :) 

   In both 4th and 5th Grade Writing, we have continued to work on Opinion Writing. We will finish up the papers we are working on this coming week and start practicing for the Smarter Balanced tests. 

   In Projects, we have continued to observe our terrariums. This coming up week, we will start designing our own gardens. On Thursday, we have a guest speaker coming to talk to us from Lattin Farms about growing plants in Northern Nevada. Students will take home their terrariums on this day. Also, they should be studying for their Vocab Test on Tuesday. We will review for this on Monday and Tuesday, but please encourage them to study this weekend. They should all have their vocabulary words in their binders.

   Also, students applied for new jobs, they will find out their new jobs on Monday. Students will be able to job shadow their new jobs this week and start their new jobs the following week. 

I think that is everything...I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
