Students worked to complete review of our fraction standards thus far, and completed their mid-point assessments today. I should have those completed and returned by Friday. I know that they worked hard and did their best work.
We are finishing up our branches of government. Students have worked to complete an Explain Everything presentation demonstrating the knowledge and understanding of each branch and the checks and balances they maintain over each other.
We have continued inquiring into sound. When completed further examination of pitch, using a glass and water. Students explored through discovery education the many ways that pitch can be changed, including a closer look at the guitar.
After comparing and examining writing examples, the class determined key characteristics of a exemplary closing to their writing pieces. They are diligently working on their drafts and will begin publishing by week's end.
This week, Ms. Monroe and I have collected several styluses from students. These styluses have a red laser pointer on them. We ask that those items are not sent to school as they are distracting and have been being misused. Thank you for you support with this matter.
We are looking forward to our Night of Expression next Wednesday, February 8th at 6:30. Students are excited to present their ideas and beliefs to you in either Art, Music, PE, Spanish, or Poetry.

Volunteers Still Needed!
Meanwhile we need your help! Without parent volunteers, this book fair will not work. So, please sign up below to either volunteer for a shift, help set up or break down, or send in snacks for our our volunteers.
We are especially looking for volunteers to help out during our evening slots while Night of Expressions is happening. We are typically very busy during that time. Parents of 4th graders could help out during our 5th grade Night of Expressions, and vice-versa!
