Just a few reminders…

The 4th and 5th grade Ocean Animal Research projects are due on Friday.  I look forward to seeing them!

I sent home papers today about the school spelling bee and spring pictures (April 14).   There was also a reminder about ordering a yearbook.  Its not too late!

The 6th graders are planning a chili cook off for April 16th.  Each class has been asked to enter a pot of chili into the contest.  If you make great chili and would be willing to come help our class cook some next Thursday, I would really appreciate it!

The 6th graders have each chosen a state to study and do a project about.  I haven’t given them specific details yet, but they can start researching their state and taking notes and thinking about how they would like to present it.  Some ideas are a poster, a travel brochure, a power point, a model that includes landmarks and land and water forms, etc.  Another thing the 6th graders should be working on is learning their states and capitals.  A fun app that helps with learning about the states is “stack the states”.  I have it on my ipad and it is great!

Thanks so much for your help and support!
