Highlights for the Week of 5/28/2018
in Mrs. Bell's Classroom

Spelling & Reading

NO Spelling or Reading this week! Please encourage your child to read at least 20 minutes per day during the summer. The public libraries in the area all have marvelous Summer Reading Programs that encourage children to read during the break. Be sure to check them out!

Social Studies - The West

The chapter 12 TEST in Social Studies is scheduled for 5/29. A study guide was sent home with your child on Thursday.

We will also prepare for our classroom luau, which is the Western region feast, scheduled for 5/31. Students will learn about the history of the luau, make their own grass skirts and feast on the traditional luau foods of Hawaiian chicken, salmon, pineapple, Hawaiian bread and Hawaiian punch! We will have fun hula dancing and watching the Disney film, Lilo & Stitch. 

Science - Simple Machines

Marshmallows were flying through the hallway last Wednesday as we took our catapults for a test drive. The creativity of our scientists was amazing!

Silly Scientists!

Mrs. Bell's Math Class - Finding Circumference and Area of Circles

Students will learn how to find circumference and area of a circle using Pi. Our last day of math is Thursday, 5/31. On Wednesday, we will have a Pi day celebration - reviewing what we have learned about circles as we enjoy some special pi/pie of our own!
