The Peg Kehret book clubs are going extremely well.  I am very pleased and impressed with how the student discussions have developed.

English-Pronouns

Object pronouns, and correct use of the pronouns, "I and Me" are the topics that we will study in English this week.



Social Studies - The Tlingit / End of the Year "Wrap Up"
Students will complete their Tlingit masks, and share them with the class on Tuesday. On Wednesday, we will create a "suitcase" in which your child will pack up all of his/her regional projects to bring home. At the end of the week, we will begin preparing for our classroom luau, which is the Western region feast scheduled for 6/9.  ALL students will participate in the luau.

Science - What are the Types of Rocks / What is the Rock Cycle?

The formation and identification of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks is what we will study in the beginning of the week.  Students will take an open note/book QUIZ on chapter 7, lesson 1 on Tuesday, 6/3.

We will finish the week with a look at the rock cycle.
