As always, there is a lot going on during these last several weeks of school!  To start with, we're going to be doing a lot of fun, engaging projects that will stretch your children's creativity!  We've started a project this week in reading having to do with the book we just finished - Holes.  Next week, we'll be doing a very fun and VERY challenging project in math in which kids will get to design their very own amusement park!  We're also going to be writing our own original stories and publishing them into books.  And of course, we're also working on developing our science fair projects. 

We also have a lot of fun things happening outside the classroom!  On May 15, we're having a school-wide science fair.  The following week, we're headed on a field trip to Theatreworks to see a play of The Hundred Dresses.  On May 31, Amber, Kenniah, Dusti, Elysha, and Alexis are performing in our second annual Talent Show!  And on June 6, it's our class end-of-the year party! 

But the event that most of the students are most excited for is the Knowledge-Bowl!  This week-long competition to see who has learned the absolute most this year begins on May 23rd.  The winner and a friend will get to go to the opening day showing of "Madagascar 3" the day after school gets out!  And of course, they'll also get a way-cool trophy and the bragging rights that go along with winning!  Klea won last year, but this year anyone could beat her!  Be on the look-out for review sheets of the stuff that will be on the Knowledge-Bowl.
