Yes I Can! Is our slogan for this month's character trait: Perseverance. And it is a good slogan to keep in mind as we take our last state test, give our country speeches and race across the Oregon Trail.
Upcoming events/reminders:
This week students are giving their country speeches and they have been fantastic so far. I will individually share your students presentation with you on seesaw. We are spending a lot of class time on our Oregon Trail simulation this week. Students will write a diary entry each day about the experience (and they may need to finish it up for homework). This week we will do a science inquiry project on sound waves. Students will explore how sound travels through a paper cup telephone and then make modifications to design a phone which does something else (such as travel around a corner or can have a 3 way conversation). Dictado: The following is this weeks' Dictado: On Memorial Day, we remember those who died fighting for our country. Memorial Day officially began in May 1868, when we honored Civil War soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery by putting flowers on their graves. After World War I, the holiday changed to honor Americans who died fighting in any war. **I personally believe that understanding the origin of this national holiday is an interesting and important topic; but if for any reason you know that this dictado subject will be sensitive for your student, please let me know before Tuesday and I will change the dictado.
