Room 20 Classroom Notes April 21-25

Good Week!
PLEASE BRING IN ALL NECESSARY PAPERWORK FOR CAMP IMMEDIATELY! We must send in all medical forms next week. I will be making calls this week to make sure we are on the same page. We will be sharing quite a bit of work throughout the week. We will be sharing poetry, book reviews and research projects. We will also be taking the OAKS (Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) Reading test. This will take two to three days. Students will have the opportunity to take breaks while testing whenever students feel they are needed. In math, we will be working with decimals and percentages. The next time you are at the market or store, please speak with your child about percentage and savings/spending. We will also be having a consistent Health unit time in the afternoons this week. The kids showed much maturity and interest in knowing about this important topic. Noah from Johnson Creek Watershed Council said he is available in early May. I thought about this and determined it was not a good fit with Art Night and camp in that timeframe. Therefore, I am advocating for doing our field study in late May. We will be going to our Reed College Science field trip on the morning of Wednesday, April 30th. I still need four volunteers. Please contact me if you are interested in seeing such wonders as a nuclear reactor, chemistry experiments, biological equipment, scientists, and Reedies galore! We also need volunteers for the Fifth Grade Promotion that will take place on the last day of school. Please contact me if this also interests you. Finally, all paperwork went home regarding science fair information. I have conferenced with just about everyone and am looking forward to seeing these wonderful scientific endeavors. Ciao.
