March!!!

March is finally here and hopefully spring is just around the corner!

Exciting things are happening in 5th grade at Blue Star, as usual!

We are beginning our new literature circles. Students choose their books on Wednesday and we will begin reading and preparing for our discussion Wednesdays next week.

We will also begin our next reading unit next week. As a class we will be reading Guests.

In social studies students are working on a group presentation of a region of the United States. Each group has 4 to 6 states in which they will put together a 5 to 10 minute presentation on the various human and physical characteristics of their place. These presentations will be at the end of next week.

I will soon be finishing my time in Social Studies and move into science and math before I am finished student teaching a Blue Star.

I was wonderful to meet all of the parents at conferences. I hope you enjoyed your student lead conference and gained some insight as to how your student views their progress.

As always, if you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me or Mrs. Newhouse!
