Congratulations to all the students in our class who completed wildlife projects and bravely presented them at the wildlife summit! Students learned about their local habitat and became more connected to their home and the species that live here.
Apologies for the canceled field trip to Thompson's Mill last week. We will try to reschedule but it is challenging to get a bus this time of year. I wanted to assure you that the fee for the field trip was for our Brownsville trip, which we did attend. Upcoming important events:

Science In science this week students will complete construction on their earthquake sound Capitol building models. Dictado This week's dictado: Perseverance is a character trait that means sticking with something despite immense difficulties.

The settlers had to believe that it was possible to persevere or all hope would be lost. Teaching points:
