SOCIAL STUDIES/Science/ Spring Break/Camp Surf

This week we have been studying about Early Africa.  We learned about the geography and the major trading empires.  We've ended the week by creating African masks and looking at the principles of symmetry.

In Science we are continuing our research and are in the early stages of writing about our inventors and inventions.  The students will be building a model of the invention the group has chosen.  I encourage you to look around your home for recycled item that your child can bring to school for the building project.  STEAM NIGHT is May 3rd and we will be displaying our research and models.

SPRING BREAK WOO HOO- I think we are all ready for a break!!  BUT, please encourage your child to complete the packets that Mr. Bolton and Ms Haehl have sent home.  We start taking the AZMERIT tests on the Tuesday we come back.  Plus there are some added bonuses for successful completion of the packets.

CAMP SURF is coming  (April 18-20)  Look for permission slip paperwork to come home the week we come back from Spring Break.
