Parents,

Bike Hike. We had a blast at Bike Hike today!  I'd write more about it, but to be honest - I'm exhausted!  Ask your child about all of the neat things we did!  If I get time I'll post some of the pictures to the class website this weekend.

Pizza Party.  Our last pizza party is Monday.  This was a tough one to earn this quarter.  I required:

-100% or more of point goal (everyone earned this)

-85% or better on comprehension

-Above book level goal.

Congrats to these students who earned this:

Logan

Chloe

Emily

Davin

Hannah

Evan

Andrew

Jordon

Allison

Quinn

Aiden's party is tonight.  "My son Aiden Smith is in Mr. Pransky's class this year and we have always invited our children's class to a large 'end of school year party' at our home (not a birthday party, just a celebration). Since it is Aiden's last year in Whitehouse Primary, he would like to invite the entire grade. Please email or call anytime if you have questions, and we hope to see you Friday!"

Parents,

Bike Hike.  Is tomorrow!  The kids and teachers are all excited.  It is supposed to be warm and muggy, but hopefully no rain until the evening.  Here are some things to do for Friday:

1) apply mosquito/tick spray

2) apply sun screen

3) inflate bike tires

4)  Put on bike helmet and make sure it is adjusted properly (see attached image)

5)  Check that gears, handle bars, and brakes on bike function properly.

6)  Water bottle cage for bike and water bottle (bottles can't be held or dangled from the bike by straps)

7)  Dress your child comfortably for the heat.

I will send a separate e-mail reminding you and your child how they are getting home tomorrow.  If there are any changes in this, please call the school.  We have a lot of pick-ups on that day and it will be a little chaotic, so please communicate with our secretaries about your plans if they need to change.  Thank you!

Party.  See your child's take home folder for more information about this:

As we wind down the school year in Science, we are finishing with a unit on Weather.  We have been watching the weather each day to practice reading weather maps in order ro to better understand weather concepts.  The test over weather is next Thursday.  The test is over Ch. 1 and Ch. 3 in the book.  A practice test can be taken on Moodle here.

Students can also earn extra credit in Science by building one of the following weather instruments: wind vane, anemometor, hygrometer, or rain gauge.  Check this site for some design ideas.

Students will also have a two weather puzzles that can be completed for extra credit.
