Week 26


Dear Families,
I had a wonderful weekend again in Spokane.  We had a big SURPRISE birthday party for my mother, and boy was she SURPRISED!!  It was so fun to be with family and great friends of our past and present.  Life is short, and those are the moments we treasure.

Friday is GREEN DAY!!  Wear your green.  We also have another author visit.  With just a few weeks before Spring Break we are all getting a bit antsy.  We have had some issues lately with teasing and fighting over games at recess.  Please take a minute at dinner or in the car to open the conversation up about teasing and appropriate sport play, especially in this time of LENT!  We will be taking more time in Religion class this week touching upon these topics.

The second trimester ends this Friday!!!  If worried about inc work please see me!

*The 4th grade Religion class will have a test on the Stations of the Cross on Thursday.  In 4th grade math we will begin our Decimals chapter, we finished up Fractions last week, will go home this week.  Once we finish decimals we will have a decimal/fraction test to end the unit.

*We continue to read our Lewis and Clark book.  We are getting close to the end and will have a test at the end of next week.  Today, the students needed to read Chapter 10 and complete the questions in their reading journals.

*In Writers Workshop we started a unit in Poetry.  We are getting ready for our LITERACY/ARTS Festival to be held on Wednesday, April 17 in the school from 6-8pm.  There will be live performances as well as Art, student literature, and poetry throughout the building.  Please come and support your students on that night.  A student project will be going home on Tuesday.  Each student has chosen an American Hero, they need to read a book on their hero and then create a book board.  ALL INFO WILL COME HOME FOR YOU TO READ ABOUT!!

3/4 Science


3/4 Science

Did you know that Venus spins in the opposite direction of most planets? That Mercury’s temperature drops to -290 degrees at night, even though it is the closest planet to the sun? Or that Saturn has 53 moons? These are just a few of the interesting facts that the 3rd and 4th grade students discovered while doing research on the solar system. Each student was assigned one of the eight planets to research and then reported their findings back to the class. Students used this knowledge to help them create their own solar system art project. This project was led by Mrs. Wisen, mother of Mason in 3/4 West. Students used tissue paper collage to represent the surface of the planets.  Thank you Mrs. Wisen!

WEEK 25

Dear Parents,

My 4th grade math students have a math test on Friday, March 8th.  I have tried to copy and paste my math notes on here for you, but I am having great difficulty.  The students all took CORNELL NOTES, a note taking system designed by a professor at the University of Cornell for his college students.  I find it to be a wonderful way to take notes and then study them.  I will continue to try and post my notes on the blog.

Friday is the Spelling Bee, we have representatives, Gracie for 4th grade and Cole for 3rd grade.
