Notes: Did anyone see the tornado that went through the last couple of weeks? So much to do and so little time... The fifth grade field trip was a success if you do not include the journey through Georgia. The students still had a blast and commented upon it. Thank you to all the chaperones that tagged along.
Field Day- is scheduled for all day Friday, May 16th. If it rains, the rain date is Thursday, May 22nd. Students will wear class t-shirts, shorts, hats, tennis shoes, and sunscreen. Parents are welcome to attend. There might even be an event where we can go up against the students....
End of the Year Party: It has been a fantastic year and I would like to celebrate with a small party of our own. We are planning an end of the year party for our class on May 22, 2008. The party will take place at Lost Mountain Parks and Recreation from 3:30-5:30pm. We are planning on having pizza and drinks, a great game of kickball (parents VS kids), and passing out Silly Awards for the year. All parents are welcome to stay and participate. I would like a number of parents available to help chaperone, since this will not be affiliated with Still Elementary/Cobb County School District. All assistance is appreciated. Permission forms went home today.
Academics:
Science: We will have a quiz on landforms, volcanoes, and earthquakes this Thursday or Monday.
Social Studies: Social Studies projects due Friday, May 16th. Each student should have typed up four papers on any topic we have covered in class and display them on a poster.
Math: Unit four is a study of standard and metric measurement, volume, area of a circle, circumference, diameter, and pi.
Language Arts: This week we will be working on Spelling Unit 22 and a DOL26 quiz this week on Friday. Field day is scheduled for Friday so testing will take place the day before.
