4th Grade Projects: We will continue with our state research project. Presentations our this Thursday in the Dungeon from 11:15-12:00.

Quarter 3, Week 7

5th Writing: We worked on finishing our Ecosystem papers. Every single student should be proud of these papers, I am excited to grade them!

Projects: We finished our natural disaster projects and learned about food chains. Next week,we will start a new engineering project where we try to save an egg. I will supply all supplies Except a pair of socks and an egg. I will send more information out about that next week.

4th Grade: We are still working on our state research projects and will finish them and present next Thursday.

Reading: We continued with Wonder and our various reading strategies. We also worked on Science Study Jams and IXL.

Maverick: Our class has earned another trip to Maverick!! I want to take this trip next Thursday. It was suggested to me, by some of my students, that instead of limiting the amount of money, I should just limit the amount of items because sometimes two items could cost like $5.50. So this time, I will let you decide how much money you want to send with your child, BUT they will only be allowed to get TWO items. We will try this and see how it works :) It is totally up to you how much you want to send with your child.

I hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!
