This Friday, May 6th the school is holding its art and picnic BBQ. Families are welcomed to attend. Students' artwork will be displayed outside each classroom. You are welcome to purchase the BBQ food from the school or bring your own picnic lunch.
Next Tuesday, May 10th is the 5th grade Museum Day. We have been working hard researching historical figures, using internet, encyclopedias, and books to put together a three minute speech about the character. We will begin dress rehearsals Friday. Please help your child create a costume to fit their character. Their homework this week is to begin practice memorizing their speech. They will also have time Thursday, Friday, and Monday to work on memorizing it and practicing it. You are welcome to attend the showing on Tuesday. We will have one showing from 9:30-10:00 and one from 2:15-2:45.
Our next book report is due on May 20th. Students can choose any genre they like. There are two components to this book report. First, fill out the standard book report form. The second component is to create a board game using the characters, setting, plot, etc. from the book. Criteria is attached to the book report form. These games will be played in class on May 20th, so they need to be designed so that anyone can play them, even if they haven't read the book.
