We are so proud of the children and the grit and perseverance they showed throughout these 2 weeks of testing. Now that we have finished with testing, we will have 2 main areas of focus in SS and ELA... OPERATION HILLSIDE OPINION PIECE We are nearing the end of this year long project. Our focus right now is writing a collaborative opinion piece, with the goal of "selling" each team's plan for the hillside. Teams have completed graphic organizers and are in the very early stages of writing their rough drafts. AND MARKET DAY On Monday, I will kick off a fun experience for the kids in which they will become entrepreneurs! Please keep your eyes open for a letter to come home next week explaining this project, as it will have an at-home component. FIELD TRIP PROJECTS It has been a lot of fun to see the field trip projects as they've come in. Thank you for taking part in this project. I will be sending a survey home about this project so we can tweak it for next year. Please fill out this survey when it arrives via email. GRAETER'S To celebrate the end of testing, as well as a tie-in to math, science, and social studies, we had a presentation by Graeter's Ice Cream on Friday. Children were treated to fun stories about the history of the company, as well as some awesome dry ice demonstrations. Thank you to the PTO for providing this experience for us! HAVE A FABULOUS WEEKEND!
