Room 20 Classroom Notes April 14-18

Good Week! We will be sending home two packets of information to you this week: one based on FLASH (Family Life and Sexual Health), and our spring science fair project. Also, PLEASE return camp packets and funds. Also also, many of our classmates from room 20 will be performing this Friday in, "We Open Tomorrow Night!" I'm going and hope you will, too. We visit Sellwood Middle School this Friday to see the real MaCoy- Middle School Life! Please check the classroom calendar on the classroom blog. We finish a poetry book project this week. The students have until Friday to finish the project. The poems are beautiful! In math, we finish decimals and will have an end of the unit test next week. We also do a mini unit on percentages. In reading, we read "Ghost Towns of the American West," and do associated vocabulary work and spelling. Essay of the week is a letter to ourselves as a thirty year-old. We are finishing up a video on the Mayflower journey and discuss the events about this harrowing venture. We begin our state reading assessment on Monday, April 21st. Be sure to get plenty of rest and good, clean food. I can't reiterate enough- Please remember to get your paperwork and money in for camp. I have not heard back from Noah (Johnson Creek Watershed Council), which means he is super busy or he is on a special project outside of Portland. I will let you know as soon as I hear back from him, but we may push our field study to May. We will be going to Reed College for a special Science Field Trip. I need at least four chaperones. Might you be one??? Let me know ASAP. It is all am, 8:40-11:30. Thanks in advance.
