 Hi Families, We’ve got 15 school days left in the 2024-2025 school year! We finished MCAS for the year with Science MCAS on Monday and Tuesday. Students are thrilled to have those long, grueling tests done. There are still some spots left to volunteer for 5th Grade Fun Day on Tuesday, June 10th (rain date June 12th). 5th Grade Fun Day Volunteer Sign Up Field Day is Tuesday, June 3. You can sign up to volunteer here: Field Day Volunteer Sign Up On Friday May 30th (Wednesday May 28th rain date) we are going to walk to the Maillet Conservation area off of Willow Street. Since the forecast looks uncertain, we will share by Tuesday afternoon whether we will attend on Wednesday or Friday. Meanwhile, please read below what students should pack for the trip. Students should wear footwear and clothing for hiking in a swampy area. Please help your student pack the following items for the trip:
No cell phones or smart watches. No Crocs or sandals. Consider applying bug spray and sunscreen before students arrive at school. We encourage students to do a tick check when they arrive home from the field trip. Here is what we’ve been up to this past week. Math Unit 7: Shapes on the Coordinate Plane We learned about numerical patterns this week. Students generated and identified relationships between corresponding terms in two patterns, given a rule. English Language Arts / Social Studies Unit 4: The Civil War Era We wrapped up our study of the Civil War Era this week by reading about Reconstruction. Some students shared their slideshows on the historical figure they researched with the class. We’ll share the rest in small groups next week. We also continued reading about Abraham Lincoln’s assassination and his legacy. We began learning about the Jim Crow Era and the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement. We also kept to a strict schedule with our book group reading. Students are steadily making their way through their final novel of the year and hopefully enjoying it! Some students may not finish the reading in class and may have to finish for homework. Science Students were scienced-out this week with MCAS! Community Building In our Second Step Lesson this week, we reviewed our S.T.E.P. acronym for solving problems. We also discussed times when problems were too big for us to solve on our own and when it's appropriate to ask a trusted adult for help. Homework We are all done with physical homework papers for the rest of the school year. I still encourage you to have your child read 20 minutes per day to keep their reading skills strong.
