Testing is Over!!

Well, we survived out testing week!  As a reward for hard work, we watched "Finding Nemo."

Not much to report this week.  We did some math practice with a review packet and played some math games.

I started reading a new story to the class..."A Cricket in Times Square."  The students enjoy listening to the story and are intrigued about the cricket and how it traveled to the city of New York.

We continued to study the rainforest and began researching a rainforest animal in computer class.  The students have become experts on the layers of the rainforest.  There is a game on my "Websites" page that they can play to place the animals and plants into the correct layer.  Next week we will begin constructing our model of the rainforest.

In Social Studies, we have been learning about the city of San Francisco and how it changed from 1846 to the present.  We learned about an earthquake in 1906 and what happened to the city afterward.

I would like to take this time to thank all of you for attending our Best of Heights Night.  The students are so proud to show their work from throughout the year.


If you did not get a chance to see your child's president video......see it here.
