We have finished our Native American Unit in social studies. Students did a wonderful job working together to research, write and create Native American reports and villages. It was a really fun unit and we all learned a lot. The final reports will be coming home after vacation and the villages were sent home today. Be sure to ask your child about all of their hard work.I also wanted to thank you all for sending in the craft materials to support these projects!
We have had an amazing year of four winds! Kathy Nelson has done an incredible job planning, organizing and teaching the lessons to our class. Sara Benoure has also helped throughout the year. Thanks ladies! Please take a moment to look at the slide show. These pictures are of our last two lessons on birds and camouflage. It has been really fun learning about our environment.

Raz kids is up and running. You can visit Raz kids from our classroom blog or you can go to http://www.raz-kids.com/main/Login Each student came home with a password card on Monday. Please contact me if you need this code. The kids have been really excited about this online reading site. I hope they will find time at home to read the books and take the quizzes.
We had a wonderful lesson on financial responsiblility from the Merchants Bank just before February vacation. Students talked about savings goals and ways to save money. They played a fun game and even won some prizes. It was a great lesson and the students did a fantastic job. Thanks Merchants Bank!
Happy Friday Families!
I wanted to give you an update on our curriculum topics over the next few weeks. On Monday we will start Unit 8 in Everyday Math. This unit will focus on fractions. In reading, we will work on guided reading groups as well as independent reading of Native American Tales. These will go along with our new Social Studies unit on Native Americans. Students will be working in a small group to research a tribe, write a report, and make a model village that they will present to the class. I would LOVE some help from you with this project. Can you search your craft closets and send in any scrap materials that students can use? Scrap fabric, fake fur, wooden sticks, small plastic containers or boxes, beads, as well as air dry clay, etc. We have some materials here in the classroom, but could use your help with others. Any and all supplies would be greatly appreciated. This will be a really fun project for all! Thanks for your support.
I wanted to thank those of you that were able to attend parent conferences yesterday. As always, it was wonderful getting to spend time with you discussing your child. If you were unable to attend, please contact me so that we can schedule a time to meet. Thanks and have a great day!
