The class has been working hard to complete their research on Natural Disasters! They have come up with some extremely creative ideas on how their group plans to display the material. I've been very happy to see how much they've enjoyed reading the books from the Wilmot Library. Please remember that Library Cards are free to anyone who fills out the paperwork at your nearest branch. This allows you to check out up to 25 books at one time, and keep them for three weeks.
I hope you'll take the opportunity to take your family to the 3rd Annual Tucson Festival of Books at the University of Arizona. Their are many great activities for children. Their is a free children's book available with a coupon from the Bear Essential News.
I recieved an email from Scholastic Books regarding an informative Math Workbook they are offering students that costs only $2.00. If you would be interested in purchasing one for you child, please return a check payable to Scholastic News by Friday, March 11th.
In Science this week, we will be covering "How to Protect and Conserve Eath's Resources". Our Social Studies newspaper is called "Transportation and Communication", with information on everything from stagecoaches to the telegraph. Learning about early Arizona has been fun with the papers we're provided to help us cover all the required state standards.
We're going to begin taking some practice AIMS tests in Math this week, so the class gets a better idea of what lies ahead in April. Like our weekly sing along to "Ghostbusters" says, "Testbusters! We're aren't afraid of any test!"
