Week 35

 Weekly Greetings!

This is the last week before the final round of tests for this year. The students have had a hard time focusing since returning from Spring Break, but I have continued to press forward with their studies. With the added daylight and nice weather, it is always hard to make the most of students' learning in the spring. Especially with the MAP (Measure of Academic Progress) testing next week, please make sure your child is well rested each day.

For the last few weeks in PE, the class has been learning how to play soccer along with the 4th grade. They are starting to get pretty good, and understand the role of certain positions in the game.

We were even able to fit in the Makerspace room this week to do a project, and then explore all the wonderful materials available to use in the room.

In the Ecosystems pod I am teaching, we had Tim Lorenzini in from the Tetlin Refuge to share about furbearers in the local ecosystem. He shared their role in the ecosystem, passed around furs, and even shared about how to trap the animals. In a few weeks, he will be in to share with all the 3rd graders about waterfowl in our area.

 I hope you have a wonderful week!

Kind Regards,

Julie Brown
