*Next Thursday, students will have a ziploc bag with report cards, their memory book, their bird bookmarks, and the summer work packet - this can be returned for a prize in the fall. Keep an eye out for this!  Tonight they have portfolios and UFLI folders.

 *This week we solved a math mystery, “The Case of the Graduation Gremlins.” This involved creating fun detective names, solving lots of review math problems, and using codes to discover clues and riddles. We had a great time eliminating “suspects” to find the culprit. Kids loved this so much we started a new one on Thursday, “The Case of the Jungle Joker.”

*We continued individual choice writing projects (poem anthologies, fiction, research books), wrote thank yous to special teachers at school, practiced contractions and celebrated all of our summer birthdays! 

*In phonics we did lots of review work with these tougher new patterns. Students will soon bring home their black UFLI folders. These stories make for great summer reading practice and the roll and reads provide great spelling practice. 

*We got to see the 4th Grade Famous Mainers Wax Museum this week and will visit the 6th Grade Ancient Civilizations Museum next week. We had an amazing visit with Beth and Curtis of Go2 Science on Friday. 

We made shrinky dinks in art!

Playing a silly game!

Listening at the Wax Museum!

Mrs. Eckert brought us popsicles for the summer birthdays!

We are having fun being math detectives!
