Track and Field Day Info:
* LUNCH: Students are already signed up for hot or cold lunch- check with your child about their decision on this.
Parents: If you come that day, you will not be able to eat lunch with your child in the cafeteria at the middle school. Sorry! There is barely enough room for all 8 classes and teachers. You would have time to run home or eat in the bleachers, etc.

9:30 - 12:30 - Mile Run and 400. Field Events begin for an hour

800 meter relay.

*1:15ish - 2:30 - Finals of the dashes, hurdles and 400 meter classroom
relay.

*Dismissal. Please ask students to stay in bleachers until dismissed.
DUNES FIELD TRIP:
A note came home about this last week. This is a favorite field trip and a great way to finish off the elementary years and still focus on some curriculum as this ties into our systems science unit. We will need your assistance to make sure this field trip can happen!! Please read the note carefully. There are 4 items to return by May 16th in order for your child to attend this trip.
An FYI: If an adult wants to accompany us on the Dunes ride in the morning, we can only have parents. We really need to stay with 1 parent per household. There are only so many seats available for the entire group. You will receive more detailed information about this trip later.
HOMEWORK: Reading Homework- Homework this weekend is a an article that ties into out science unit-systems and some questions/chart to respond to. Some students completed this on Friday.
MATH:
There are video tutorials and a practice activity for volume in the math tab!
We have continued to review volume and have been working on customary and metric units of length. We will continue review and begin customary and metric units of weight, mass and capacity. Review continues for the upcoming Delta Math test and students have their individual goals to focus on.
READING -
Click on the "Reading" tab for practice comprehension passages
We completed The Fighting Ground last week. Next we will be focusing on non-fiction material mostly associated with our science unit.
WRITING:
We will wrap up our poetry unit with the brunch on Tuesday. We will be working on summarizing and persuasive writing as well as writing Porquois in the next weeks.
SCIENCE: We continue to discuss behavioral and physical adaptation as it relates to survival and learned about heredity last week as well. This topic will continue into next week.
SPELLING:
Students took the lesson 29 test on Friday and it will come home on Monday. List 30 will go home Monday. You can also find lists under the spelling tab. The skill is synonyms and antonyms. The proofreading part of the test is an important skill. If your child has been needing more practice with this, that is something that they have been working on in class.
