Today was very exciting; the Oregon Coast Aquarium assembly was today! What a wonderful privilege for students to get a closer look at the coastal environment. The presentation was very engaging and informative. One of our students even played a key role as a seastar! 

 

This week we have been studying a variety of texts. We continue to study history and the Oregon Trail as well as a novel called, "The Hope Chest."  I also completed a read a loud by Judy Blume and we have jumped into "Fudge-a-mania," also by Judy Blume. In math, we have learned about stem and leaf plots as well as circle graphs. In writing we are continuing to develop our skills by really studying what a paragraph is and why it is important. 

On Friday, Jump Rope for Heart is tentatively scheduled for 10 AM. The second round of reading OAKS testing will begin next week. The secret word this week is, "aquarium." Thanks for all that you do!
