Hello,
Please remember to send in your child's permission slip for the symphony trip next week. I still need at least 2 more drivers for this trip. Again, I'm sorry that most parents won't be able to join us inside the Civic. I hope you won't mind walking downtown and enjoying some free time!
We have one more field trip coming up. We will be going to the Watsonville Court House for our Elementary Law program on Thursday, March 11. I apologize for the "cluster" of trips over these few weeks, but I feel every one is valuable and I had to take the dates I could get. Thanks for understanding and for your help driving. The Elementary Law trip is a great one and I encourage all parents to attend if possible. I will send home the permission slips for this tomorrow.
Thanks and have a good week.
*Overview for the week:
Weather project due on Wednesday
Rough draft of survival story due on Thursday
Colonial newspaper due on Friday
Homework:
Read: 30 min.
Math: HB pg. 191 and 195
Sign of the Beaver vocabulary (10 words) test tomorrow.
Spelling: Symphony words - know spelling and meaning by Friday

Hello,
Hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend. Our Life Lab field trip last Friday was great. We had lots of fun harvesting vegetables and making soup - as well as learning about good nutrition.
I will be sending home the corrected work folders tomorrow. Please look for the permission slip for the Santa Cruz Symphony field trip scheduled for Monday, March 1, at the Civic Auditorium which all 4th and 5th graders will attend. We tried to get buses for the trip but found out this would cost too much, requiring about $7.00 per student. Instead we are asking parents to drive. The catch is that only one parent per class can join us in the auditorium for the one hour performance. We are hoping that most parents wouldn't mind spending that hour downtown and meeting up with the class after the concert. Thanks for considering this.
Have a good week!
Homework

Hello,
We have a short but busy week ahead! First thing tomorrow is our Valentine Breakfast. Please remember to have your child bring in $5.00 for the event if she/he hasn't already done so. Thanks - and thanks to all parents who have volunteered to help with this event. We fifth grade teachers really appreciate your hard work!
Also on the agenda this week is our trip to UCSC on Friday. Everyone will have to bring a sack lunch - preferably in a reusable lunch box as we will have to pack our trash out with us. This is a very ecologically focused trip!
We will begin our study of weather in science later this week, and today I handed out a weather station project packet. Please review this with your child. I told the kids to choose one station to build - one that interests them and is feasible to make. The project along with the written report (accompanying handout) is due Wed. 2/24.
I've told everyone that a book report is forthcoming and that they should be reading a chapter book of at least a fifth grade level. I will be discussing the guidelines for the report with them next week.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Koue
P.S. If your child turned in all work last week and grades were satisfactory, I did not send home a yellow sheet this week.
