Mid Winter

I hope all the Blue Star Families are surviving this NEVER ENDING winter weather!! Spring will be very much welcomed in my household!

Some updates about 5th grade at Blue Star:
*Biography Brunch is FAST approaching. Your student will need an inexpensive costume and to prepare a short, memorized speech for the Wax Museum.

*Biography projects are drawing to a close. The final copy of all 3 project choices are due THIS FRIDAY, FEB. 22, 2008. The final copies need to be neat, free of errors and in a folder or some sort of "packaging".

*Literature circles are also drawing to a close. This coming week we will be working on board games in class. Each group will create a board game for their book. We will take some time one afternoon to play all of our board games once they are finished!

*In social studies we are continuing our work with geography of North America. Your student took a quiz on Thrusday and those are graded and will be coming home soon.

Please contact me with any questions about the projects happening in class currently.
