Just a reminder, fifth grade school picture time is Wednesday at 2:45. A hard copy of the order form went home last week and there are many extras at the front desk. There may have been a form emailed out last week as well.
We are finishing up our weather and climate project this week with our weather report presentations. The students have been working in teams and have tracked the temperatures of a chosen city. On Wednesday, they will present a weather report, including a severe weather report for their city. They will go to a commercial break where they will promote their design to reduce the impact of this severe weather on homes in the area. There is a lot of thought, precision, and creativity going into this project. We will present on Wednesday and take a test on Thursday.
Our next project will go back to Social Studies and is called Famous Fallon Friends. We will research people who have had an impact on our community and what they did to contribute. Next Monday, October 14, we will walk to the Churchill County Museum to kick off our project. We will also return on October 17 for more research. Our final presentation will be a Wax Museum, where your student will dress as a person in Fallon's history and present a memorized speech about his or her contributions to the community. We are not in need of any chaperones for these walking trips, but please make sure your child has shoes to walk in and is dressed for the weather. We will go right after lunch both days and will return to school about 3:00, giving us about an hour in the museum each visit. We are expecting to learn a lot about our community with this project, and just in time to celebrate Nevada Day.
The end of the first quarter is quickly approaching. I appreciate the hard work I see coming from your students. I can seen growth in them already! Thank you for raising them to be kind and work hard. It makes a difference in the classroom. Have a great week!
