I hope you had an opportunity to get outside and enjoy some sunshine this weekend! The last few weeks have been incredibly busy in our classroom. As we begin digging into the work of Exhibition, we have participated in field trips to learn more about different ways in which people communicate their beliefs, values, and ideas. We visited Google to learn about technology, attended a UMS performance by DahkaBrahka to notice music and dance as communication. Finally, next week we will be attending a field trip to 826MI and the Ann Arbor District Library to learn from writers and storytellers.
All 5th graders began MSTEP testing last week. Each student showed commitment and perseverance to do their best! Last week we completed the testing for English Language Arts, this week will take the mathematics MSTEP on Wednesday and Thursday morning. Please ensure your child arrives to school on time as we begin testing at 9am. Finally, on Wednesday 4/26 we will complete the MSTEP testing with the final test for social studies.
Below is the plan for this week. Please note the work the kids will be doing for Exhibition this week. The evening home study period is an excellent opportunity for kids to dig deeper into their research!
