Kristina sent out a thank you e-mail to all who helped out with the Roberts Carnival. I would like to extend the thank you. April Lloyd did a great job involving the students and the students really stepped up to the plate and manned the booth. Thank you agian. This was my first Roberts Carnival and I was impressed with the turnout and the wide variety of activities. I had a great time getting dunked by some 5th grade students.

Living Museum
Yeah! They did it! Students pulled it together within a short amount of time, created complete or partial costumes and presented in our Living Museum on Friday. Students really pulled their research together and demonstrated their learning through their speeches. Way to go! Photos will be posted on our blog before the end of the week. I did not have a working camera, but Ms. Shilmoeller will be sharing the photos she took so that we can post.

Science TAKS done, Revolution Wrap Up and Carnival
Hello to all!
We are finished with our Science extravaganza and we are finishing up revolution. Students have completed projects on American Revolutionary figures and have been studying up on a World Revolution and important figure. The World Revolutionary Figure project does not have to be written, but is in the form of a living museum. Students will be their chosen World Revolutionary figure, give a speech and answer questions. Their audience will be the other 5th grade students. The living museum will be tomorrow morning. Most students are ready and may just need to practice while others may need a little more information or may need to make some notes for themselves in order to remember their speech and/or information.
When dressing up, students can use any clothes they may have at home and make adjustments, there is no need to go and purchase anything. As long as students make some attempt and improvise. Grading will be based on content, not costume. Those students who are able to dress the part, that will be excellent.
More Social Studies
We will be working on a bit of general knowledge and applying concepts in preparation for Stanford testing for the rest of this week and most of next week. After that, we will cover the new nation and continue from there.
Carnival
A sign up sheet to work the carnival booth was sent in the Tuesday folder yesterday. We have about 5 volunteers so far. If students are able to help at the booth and forms have not been returned, please send forms in tomorrow. Students are excited about working our booth. Thank you in advance for your help!
Stanford
Stanford testing is next week Monday through Thursday. We will be starting in the morning and hope to finish by lunch time but may have more to do after lunch, especially on the Reading day. I will let you know more as I find out more or if needed.
Have a great rest of the week! Carol Rivers
