Science Fair is Complete!!!

We are finished with Science Fair for this year! All of our hard work paid off, because the finished products looked great! I am so VERY proud of my 5th graders! You did an amazing job. You will be experts for next year. Congratulations to those students that placed.

This week we will be working on our Biography Research Papers for the next few weeks. I will be teaching how to use an outline this week, and we will continue our research. My goal is for us to turn in final papers by Friday, March 11th. Hopefully, that will work. I am looking forward to working on these papers.

Our Pen Pals sent us a package last week! How cool!!! We all received presents and letters. It was really awesome to see our pen pals handwriting and illustrations. We will be working on writing responses next week, and sending actual letters. In the upcoming months we will be sending them another care package. If you have any ideas for our next package, let me know.

Finally, we are taking ISTEP next week. This is the written portion of the test. We will be testing Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings. Please be sure your child has a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast each morning.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact me.
