Happy spring and happy Friday!
Hey there Teton and Olympic parents! We have had a busy couple of months, and made some incredible academic progress. We have some academic updates, a couple of exciting announcements, and a great opportunity for you to volunteer.
Academic Updates
Mr. Wheeler
We’ve worked on fractions and decimals in math, and we’ve started practicing with coordinate grids. Student’s have really enjoyed creating images and interpreting data with coordinates. We’re most of the way through the units, and students have worked so hard to speed up transitions to make class time more efficient.
We also started science. Students have designed experiments, played with magnets, and have begun conversations about the power of electricity. Ask students which properties of magnets they have observed in our experiments!
Mrs. Conley
The students have worked very hard on their great American projects. We are excited to share them with you on Tuesday, April 11 from 9:15 -10:00. Be sure to take a look at the portraits that the students drew. They are displayed on their lockers!
We finished our read aloud Wolf Hollow by Lauren Wolk. Our current read aloud is Lawn Boy by Gary Paulsen. Please ask your child about these fabulous books.
On Thursday, April 13 we will be visiting Bay Square. the bus will take us there after lunch recess and we will be walking back to school at 2:30. We made Kindness Rocks to place around Bay Square. We are bringing our Senior Citizen friends cards with spring Haiku poems in them.
Volunteering Opportunity
Parents! Our Boston Field Trip is June 5th, and we need chaperones. We encourage all interested parties to fill out the linked Google Form by the middle of next week (4/12). If the number of volunteers exceeds our number of available chaperone positions, we will pick names from a hat!
Now it’s announcement time from Mr. Wheeler!
As much as I have enjoyed my time on the fifth-grade team, and my time teaching math and science, I am excited to announce that I am accepting a position teaching Language Arts and Social Studies at Harrison Middle School, starting next year. I am overjoyed to work with this fifth-grade class through their transition to middle school, and to keep growing the connections I have made.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Zac and Kelly
