Hello,
The kids will be taking their first Social Studies test this Thursday. They completed a study guide in class today and should be reviewing it each night.
We will also be starting a new activity this week - News Teams. We will be receiving the Santa Cruz Sentinel every Monday and Wednesday this year and will be using it to study current events and to report on them. This week will be a group effort where I will explain the program and have everyone take a trial run on Friday. I will explain the process tomorrow and have each student pick a news story to study and prepare to present. I will be sending home the news team form tomorrow along with an explanation of how this activity affects the listening and speaking grade on their report cards. Please take a look at this. Thanks.
One more important announcement - Spanish is now in 5th grade! Ms. Murray is back and
she will be teaching our fifth graders for the entire school year. We had our first class with her this morning - it was terrific!

Have a good week.

Mrs. Koue
