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
