Caste Design Challenge
This year  third grade is researching medieval history. A few weeks ago, they broke into teams and designed castles for the queen. They did a great job transferring their 2D plans into 3D models!!!!

5th grade research project is due Monday!!!

5th graders have been researching careers for the past week or so. Most students have completed the note page and have started on their research paper.They still have two days to work on this in class. However, if they have not completed it by Thursday, it will be homework. Of course, they are welcome to work on it at home at any time. I have encouraged them all to let you help edit their paper. If they have already submitted it, they can unsubmit it to make changes. If you'd like to see the details of the project, please ask  your student to pull it up in google classroom. Google classroom can be accessed on any computer, ipad, phone or smart device. If you have any questions, please let me know. 

WHEN WILL GT SESSIONS BEGIN???

Assessments for all students who have been nominated for the GT program begin this week. You do not need to re-test if you are already in the program. GT sessions will begin for identified GT students as soon as all of the assessments have been completed.  I am looking forward to getting things going!!!

CLASS PET FOR THE SUMMER????

If anyone would like to take home a class pet (or two) for the summer, please let me know. The hermit crabs are already spoken for. We still have 2 hamsters, 1 gerbil, 1 crayfish and 2 Madagascar hissing cockroaches who would love to visit you for a few months.
