McVay February 28 - March 4

I felt a bit melancholy when I typed the date "March." We are beginning the end of our fifth grade journey together as we wrap up the third quarter this week and begin the final quarter of our fifth grade year.  Let's make it the best and most memorable part of our time together!!

Good - bye Jun Lee.  Jun has returned to Korea and I would like to thank him for a wonderful cultural experience.  I believe we all enjoyed our time together.

I hope all of my students will have a male father figure attending the American Village field trip.  Please remember to return your form ASAP.  Also, please contact the person you would like to share a ride with, as we will not be coordinating this part of the trip.  It will help the parking situation at the American Village if we share rides.

Math - 
Chapter 11 Division Lessons 3 - 5
We will finish Chapter 11 this week with a daily grade on Thursday and then a Chapter grade on Friday.

Science - 
Chapter 15 Energy Lesson 1 & 2 daily grade on Tuesday
Lessons 3 will be the focus the remainder of the week.


Social Studies - 
Chapter 7 Lessons 1 - 3
Lesson 2 & 3 will be read and outlined this week and next Tuesday, March 8th, we will wrap up Chapter 7 with a daily grade on all three lessons.
The week of March 7 - 11 we will be using the Mac Lab to create our American Revolution project.  I'll be sending home an outline to prepare for that project, so we can make the most of our time with the laptops.

Thank you for the blessings of working with your children everyday!
