LAST DAY - 4TH AND 5TH GRADE TUNNEL:
 Traditionally our 5th grade students have walked through a tunnel formed by K-4th graders to celebrate their years in elementary school and their move on to the middle school. This year 4th grade will join them. Parents, etc may begin lining up for "The Tunnel" at 11:20
If you are driving your child home,  please wait for buses to leave before going to your car for all students' safety.


* IF YOU WILL TAKE YOUR CHILD HOME INSTEAD OF THEM GOING ON THE BUS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY THURSDAY JUNE 5TH. 
- This is a very busy day, we won't be in the classrooms very much, and I may not get a late message.


DUNES FIELD TRIP: 
   If you checked that you would like to donate items and/or volunteer for this day, soon you will be receiving an email and/or note about what item we will need you to donate (pop, cookies, chips, etc.) and what we will need you to volunteer to help with for the afternoon. Parents who are joining us for the day will be needed to run games or travel around with groups of students in rotations, and assist in serving lunch.
We will need people to help set up games in the morning and clean up- the more we have the quicker this will go. We appreciate your assistance with this. We truly can't make this happen without you!!
   We begin at the Saugatuk Dunes Rides. The hike follows and is about 3/4 of a mile into the beach. It is hilly and a little steep in spots.
You will be given directions to get there, but we start out by the parking lot near the Felt Mansion.


 
MATH:      
 We will review all concepts Tuesday and Wednesday by working on another Test Review. 
The Measurement Unit Test will be Thursday- some may need to finish on Friday.
 
READING -     
Last week students chose to work individually or in pairs to choose a nonfiction article and read it. They then had to give the main idea and details, a summary, and other such information. This week students will be reporting out to the class about their topic. We will work on other nonfiction material this week as well.

WRITING:                    
 
This week students will be presenting their Pourqouis - legends that tell why something came to be. 

SCIENCE:   Everyone should be wrapping up
their Project-based Learning activity that focuses on the behavioral and physical adaptation. They will be presenting these to the class on Tuesday. I look forward to seeing these- many creative ideas. We will also work on the study guide and be studying this over the week. The Science Systems Unit Test is Wednesday June 4th.
 
SPELLING:
  Students took the lesson 32 test on Friday and it will come home on Monday. List 32 will go home Monday.  This was the LAST SPELLING TEST!
