I am attaching some photos from both the Wax Museum and Nature's Classroom. I wanted to post them sooner, but 5th grade gets a little crazy this time of year. I have to say, however, that this has been one of my best years EVER as a teacher because your children are so wonderful!!! I know I have said that many times before, but as it gets closer to the end, I am beginning to already feel a sense of loss! They are incredible human beings!!
Next week we will resume spelling. It's been on hiatus since before Nature's Classroom. However, we have a full, fairly uninterrupted week this week. Yay, spelling! Has your child told you about our experimentation in science. We have begun our final science unit called "Mixtures and Solutions." It is our chemistry unit. Next week our focus will be saturation. It's totally hands-on and lots of fun.
I am in the process of scheduling our final party of the year; "What Slingerlands Means to Me" It will be our end of year celebration. I will be sending out the date and time in the very near future.
Persuasive writing is our final writing unit. The children have already been pre-tested in this area, have picked a topic and began researching. We will be conducting additional research and drafting this week. Adding voice, statistics, data and a surveys will be completed within the next couple of weeks.
As always, if you have a question or concern, email me at lbetor@bcsd.neric.org.
