Science

Parents,
     We started the book reports and speeches on Wed.  We will continue with these on Monday for those who haven't had an opportunity to finish. JNJ students are doing book reports on a sea creature and NJ students are giving a speech on a sea creature.  Students were made aware of this assignment a few weeks ago, but several students have been out of town, so please don't fret over this.  We want it to be a fun project.
     We have finished the book!!!!  We had a trivia game this week.  Students were divided into 2 teams.  The winners had a choice between shadowing a teacher for a class period or having a party. 2nd and 5th-6th grades chose to have a party.  The winners will be serving treats and the losing team is bringing the treats.  Students bringing treats brought home a notecard with what to bring.  We don't want this to be a problem for any family, please let us know if you are not bringing treats and we will plan accordingly.
3rd and 4th grade winning team chose to shadow a teacher for a class period.
    We will watch Finding Nemo in the morning on the last day of school.  It's amazing how many jokes make sense after studying sea creatures this year!
    Enjoy your weekend!
