Our two plays were a great success, thanks to the dedication of the students, Michael, Laura, and all of the families who helped with this process. Thank you to everyone for making Wednesday night such a wonderful experience. Thank you also to Sarah Bidwell and Sara Fields for helping out during our Johnson Creek watershed study. This week we will be finishing division and multiplication and starting geometry and measurement. In writing, we finish up our personal narratives and begin an imaginative piece. Imaginative writing pieces may not be finished before conference time. For conferences, parents will be able to see students personal narratives, math work samples, and reading scores along with science and social studies projects. We begin bike safety for 5th graders on Tuesday, November 12th for the remaining two weeks before conferences. This is a time where students learn the various road rules of being a cyclist and how to navigate on the road. This is especially important in such a bike-friendly city as Portland Oregon. The last week before conferences we will present our state projects to the entire 5th grade class. Just as an FYI, I am dictating my weekly notes via our new Nexus 7's. Students have been learning how to use these tablets. They are very portable. They also have a camera, which allows for much multimedia flexibility. I hope you have a wonderful week!
