Busy Week!

We have a lot going on this week! Today we had Healthworld visit us to talk to the kids about their changing bodies. It was a great presentation. We also had a fifth grade rehearsal for Spring Sing. The kids sound terrific! Wednesday is an early release day, with the Spring Sing concert at 6. Be sure to have it on your calendar! Thursday we will have a visit from Mr. Bleuher who will talk to us a bit more about Lincoln Junior High. We will also be visiting Mr. O'Malley's hands-on museum. Finally, Friday is our picnic! Be sure to send your child with a sack lunch and sunscreen, as we will be spending the afternoon outside. Phew! What a week!

Exciting Day!

What a busy day! It started out with a visitor from my dear friend, Ms. Bones. She is a real skeleton that comes to visit while we are talking about human body systems. The children are fascinated by her and we learn so much from looking at how are bodies are put together!

We then had a "teaser performance" of "School House Rock". Students from Lincoln Junior High gave us a quick peek at their wonderful spring musical. They will be performing it this Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. If you are interested in going, please check out Ms. Abramite's webpage for details.

Finally, we took our last MAP test of the school year. It was our math test, and we were all very excited to see our scores grow from the fall.

Next Week

We have a busy week next week! On Monday, we'll be taking our final Reading MAP test of the year. Please be sure your child has had a good night's sleep and eaten a healthy breakfast. On Tuesday evening, Lincoln Junior High will be hosting Fifth-Grade Orientation at 6:30 p.m. I highly recommend going to this with your child, as you will be able to meet some teachers and get any questions answered. On Thursday, the students will be tested in their fluency, or speed in which they are able to read 5th grade text. We have been practicing this all year, increasing the intensity within the past couple of weeks, so the kids are excited to show their progress.

Locks

Today began our week of combination lock practice. The students each received a lock to practice using. Once they could open it 3 times at their desk and once in front of me, they were allowed to put them on their lockers. It was a very big day!

Special Letter

All 5th grade students received a letter from Mrs. Bulzoni this afternoon. Please look for it in your child's backpack. Thank you!

Fun Assembly

We had a delightful assembly today with a fantastic juggler who made us laugh the entire hour. What I was most proud of was how well the students got back on track for a day of learning after our hilarious assembly. We are talking about robots, and have begun designing our own, dreaming of what we'd like them to do (mine would wash dishes). This week we will read Zathura, which is about a fantasy world that comes about after a game board is opened up. We are also continuing our study of the Revolutionary War.

Concerts

Last week we had the pleasure of listening to our wonderful orchestra students play during an assembly, and today we heard the fantastic band students demonstrate what they learned this year. Nicely done! Good luck to everyone at the combined band/orchestra concert tonight!

Earth Day

Happy Earth Day! Today we talked about what we could do reduce our carbon footprint. We talked about bringing lunch in reusable containers, and not using so many disposable items. We also read a special edition of Time for Kids that talked about Earth Day.

Excellent Work!

This morning the children had great discussions with their tablemates. After reading the story of Icarus with their group, they had to answer some questions regarding symbolism in the story and the moral. The kids had great conversations, with everyone contributing their thoughts. I was so proud of them!
