Thank you for a wonderful Teacher Appreciation Week. I
really enjoyed the daily deliveries of tea and pastries, the beautiful and
fragrant flowers, the sweet notes from the students and the “little extras.”
I was very proud of how hard the students worked on their
CST. Way to go!
Important Schedule change
Beginning June 4 all days will be early out days. A note
will be sent home soon in regards to what day your child’s reading will be
assessed.
May 29-June 1 we will be dismissed at our usual time.
Also note - we will return to school on May 31 at around 6pm
Family Life curriculum will begin May 29.
Several students received notices that they have not
verified their residency for Bancroft.
These students will not receive a schedule for 6 th grade. Please ask your
child if they received one of these.
In class right now
Math – We are doing an exciting unit about algebra (that I
love) using the hands on equations materials. Students are solving equations
like 8+2x+3-x=2x+1. The students are amazed at the advanced math that they can
do and I have heard from former students that it helps them when they take
Algebra in the later grades.
Science – We are learning about the scientific method and
how to create our own science fair projects using an Interact unit. The
students are learning and working together as they solve a mystery based at a
school.
