The fifth graders enjoyed their tour of the Gibbs this morning. They were able to meet some of their future teachers and see some of the classrooms that they will be learning in next year.

When we returned to school, the members of A303 met with their second grade book buddies ones final time. They were able to exchange cards and wish each other a nice summer to come.

I hope everyone has a nice weekend. Next week, the goal is to have all of the kids complete with a published informational essay.

Field Day was a success. The weather cooperated and the kids had a great time. Thank you to the fifth graders for also helping the younger kids during their portion of the day.

Tomorrow we are going to walk to the Gibbs and tour the building. As a reminder, we are asking all students to be dropped off at the Thompson at 7:50 so that we are able to walk to the Gibbs and arrive on time.

The fifth graders continued to work with converting units of measurement during class. Our focus today was on exploring the U.S. standard measurements. We have had two productive lessons in a row.

Tomorrow is field day and on Friday we are going to the Gibbs in the morning. As a reminder, we are asking all students to be dropped off at the Thompson at 7:50 so that we are able to walk to the Gibbs and arrive on time for our tours.

We dug into the details of the Battle of Bunker Hill this afternoon. The students looked at some paintings and maps of the battle and then also looked at some data tables about the number of soldiers on the battlefield. This was an interesting and productive lesson.

Please have permission slips and waivers for Gibbs visit and Launch returned as soon as possible.

This is a busy week for the us. We have field day on Thursday and our Gibbs visit on Friday. The fifth graders also are going to attempt to have their informational pieces published by the end of the week. 

There will be no more homework given this year.

The members of A303 were able to watch a performance of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Jr. this morning. All of the kids who took part in the play did a great job and the students in the audience enjoyed the performances.

Next week has two notable items. On Thursday the eighth, the Thompson School is having field day. Finally, on Friday we are going to walk to the Gibbs School to tour the building.

I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

The kids had a blast during the Parkour enrichment program yesterday. After seeing an instructor model a Parkour movement, the kids then modeled the same movement. 

The month of June will begin with a fantasy book group lesson. On Friday we are going to be in the audience during one of the school plays.
