May 20-24

"'Tis like the birthday of the world,
When earth was born in bloom;
The light is made of many dyes,
The air is all perfume:
There's crimson buds, and white and blue,
The very rainbow showers
Have turned to blossoms where they fell,
And sown the earth with flowers."

We had a wonderful start to our week with the 5th grade band and chorus concert. Both students and teachers enjoyed listening to the lovely music. I love watching my former students and encourage this year's class to get involved in music in the coming years. 

We will finish our math assessment in class today. Students will not have homework tonight, but please expect a Home Link for the rest of the week. Our daily Learning Objective is always posted on homework for parents to view. 

Students were introduced to our Space PBL today. Our Driving Question is: How would you justify which planet is most sustainable for life if Earth were to become uninhabitable? Students will begin their research this afternoon. 

We have a field trip to the high school on Wednesday morning to see their production of The Jungle Book. We are all excited about this event.

Students are working hard on their Immigration journals. They are currently at their port cities, but are boarding their steamships this afternoon. :) They are all hoping for a smooth trip to America. 

Miles in May continues this week and we are still one of the top third grade classes! Students are working so hard to complete laps during recess time. 

Have a fantastic week!
