April 4, 5:30-6:30pm: Biography essay and home project fair.
We are holding an evening event on April 4 that will be similar to a science fair set up with the Strawberry students stationed by their projects and essays about famous Americans. Guests will get a chance to visit the projects and talk to the researchers about the person they studied. There will be light snacks provided. This is the same evening as the Wildcat dinner/dance event in the Depot. Families with students in Wildcat will still be able to visit Strawberry and attend the Wildcat event.
Homework:
4th Grade: No math homework
5th Grade: Math packet
Science Homework: Human Digestive System diagram
Reminder: The biography project is due on April 1st. Please make sure your student is making progress on his/her project to be ready by then!
Field Trip Forms: Most everyone filled out the field trip form to Sacramento at conferences, but a few are still out there. Here is a link to the form.
Conferences/Portfolios:
It was wonderful to meet individually with all of you this past weekend. Please make sure to send your child's portfolio and writer's book back to school with them this week. Thank you!
Biographies and Afternoon Reading:
We split the class this afternoon to spend some focused time on our biographies. It is great to see the wonderful progress that all the students are making towards finishing their essays!
While one group of students were working on biographies, the other group took advantage of the beautiful weather this afternoon and read outside.
Health:
We dove into the digestive system this afternoon and learned about all the ways our body breaks down food to give us energy. Next week, we'll begin talking about our circulatory system!
