Our 3/4 State Fair will be on Wednesday, May 28th and Thursday, May 29th. Requirements for the project went home three weeks ago. Students filled out a reflection sheet for me on Wednesday telling me what they have done and what they are planning on doing. If your kiddoe hasn't started yet, please take a look at it because it is a very involved project.
You will start to see a decrease in homework as we get closer to the due date of the state fair project.
Our Southeastern state test will be on Thursday, May 8th. Students should know the location and the spelling of each of the 10 states.
We are going to see Slim Goodbody on May 8th and to the Denver Art Museum/Denver Mint on May 15th. Our overnight at the Denver Zoo will be on Friday, May 23rd and Saturday, May 24th. Our activities will focus on Earth Day and our planet.
