Tomorrow's forecast is calling for a high of 59 and rain all day. This means that we cannot be outside digging in mud so we have had to move the field trip to next Thursday, April 8th. We're excited that we still get to go and next Thursday is supposed to be 79 and sunny. I'll send home the reminder and packing list next week.
This means that the Social Studies test will be given tomorrow. The kiddos should have been bringing home their books to study all week.

Comin' Down the Home Stretch!
I hope you all had a great and well rested Spring Break! Can you believe we're already in the fourth quarter? The kiddos are almost fifth graders! Here are a few things that are going on in room 25...........
We started chapter 10 in Math. This chapter has dealt with symmetry, reflections, and +/- numbers. We will be taking our test on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Chapter 11 will deal with volume and geometric shapes.
We're on Unit 26 this week for Spelling.
Territorial Arizona has been our focus in Social Studies. We will be taking the test some time next week. I've encouraged the kiddos to start taking their books home now to study. The memory master will come home Monday to help as well. Today we are taking our "Territorial Kids" pictures. These are the pictures that include any and everything that describes each student. They brought in things that reflect who they are.
A to Z books: We've been working on our rough drafts for the A to Z book on Arizona. Each student has a different letter and must come up with things specific to Arizona that start with that letter. For example, if they have the letter C, they might write about the 5C's, the Colorado River, etc. Some of the kiddos will need the weekend to gather more facts to write about. We will begin editing these on Monday so if they don't finish the rough drafts today they will need to work on them this weekend.
Weather is our new Science focus. We will then move into adaptation, mimicry, and camoflouge.
The Power Point book reports are going well. We'll be working on these for the next few weeks.
AIMS testing is the week of April 12-16. We've been working on AIMS prep this week and will continue through the next few weeks. More info will come home as it gets closer.
We head out to the dig site on Thursday for our field trip! Thank you to all who volunteered. Mary Gansheimer, Mary Robbins, Celeste Angelini, and Tee Ward will be joining us! I'll send home a remind again on Wednesday. The next field trip will be on April 26.
I'm needing some extra help with Scrapbooks. I have a bunch of packets that include the supplies and a sample page for you to reproduce. It's mainly gluing and cutting. If you would be willing to help out with this I would SO appreciate it! Please send me an email and I'll send home the kits. Thank you!
Report Cards come home today. Please send back the envelope with a signature on Monday.
Let's make the final quarter a great one!

Power Point Book Report
Last week each child picked a new book for their next book report. If they had just started a book and weren't too far along then they could stick with it. We've been to the library twice in one week so the students have had two opportunities to select a book. It must be a chapter book that is in their level. If they picked a book from home then they need to bring the book in so I can okay it.
The books must be finished by Monday, March 22. This is the Monday after Spring Break. We will begin the book reports on this day. The students will NOT be able to start their book report unless they have finished their book.
The book report will be in a Power Point Presentation and most of it will be done in class. If there are certain pictures or sounds they would like to include from home, that would be great! Just save the images on a disc, a flash drive, or email them to me. Those students that finish their books by Monday, March 8 will have the opportunity to start their presentation/book report early. Again, the books are not required to be completed until the 22nd.
A criteria sheet for this book report will come home tomorrow.
