Well fifth grade families, this is it, the last week of school! We have a few exciting happenings this week. We will get yearbooks on Tuesday, attend 8th grade graduation on Wednesday, and have field day on Thursday. Please check your email for details on each of these events, especially field day! Plans are changing with the weather.
It's always hard for me to say goodbye. I get attached to my students and wish the best for them! It has been a wonderful year. I have loved working with each student and family. I hope you have a wonderful summer. Please stop by my new Oasis classroom next year to say hello!

Project Presentations
Please come see our final Science project presentations. We have seven groups who will be presenting simultaneously in our classroom, much like the Native American project from earlier in the year. You may go to each exhibit, or just see one or two groups. The students have learned a lot about how the different spheres interact and they are excited to share their knowledge with you. We are presenting on Wednesday, May 13, from 1:30 - 2:15 in our classroom. Hope you can come see what we've learned.
In other classroom events, we are having end of the quarter auctions again, so please send in a few treats or snacks. We have some students who have saved all year and they are excited to spend their hard-earned cash. This is the last week for reading logs as a graded assignment. It goes without saying that I hope your students will keep reading, even with no assignment to turn in! We will write our last parent journal entry this week too. These can come back on Monday for stickers and then they will go home to keep. I hope you will enjoy having that record of your communication with your student. Have a great week!

Project Building, Auctions, Supplies
We started building our projects today. These days are always exciting, and a little crazy. Thank you to those who sent in supplies. The days are much smoother when every student has what he or she needs. We will build Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. There are, however, a few supplies needed in our classroom: cleaning wipes and paper towels. I went to the back to get more today and apparently that massive stash of cleaning wipes and paper towels from the beginning of the year is gone and we are out! We have clay stuck to our tables with no cleaning wipes - a crisis for sure! If anyone has a spare container or two of wipes or a few rolls of paper towels, please send them in. That would be very helpful for our building tomorrow and as we finish up this year. In addition to our Science project, the students need some building supplies for math. Check with your student to see what is needed for that.
We are at the end of the year, but we will still be working and keeping to our routine as much as possible. We will have a reading log for the next two weeks, but not on the last week of school. We will do our end-of-the-quarter auctions in the classroom during the weeks of May 11 and May 18. Please send in a few small treats or toy items to auction off. Your students are really looking forward to this! Have a great week and thank you for all you do to support your student in his or her learning.
