June 1-5

The year is winding down so we all know that means.... we have three busy, busy, jam-packed weeks left :)

Tuesday we had a great time in the new Hall of Oceans exhibits at the Natural History Museum and got to see an incredible 3-D movie exploring the deep sea! Check out our 3-D glasses. Unfortunately we couldn't take them home to rock this look in Falls Church...
















Students are also participating in an Artist-in-Residency program this week where they are learning all about how to perform Shakespeare! Thursday, we'll get to see some 7th graders in A Midsummer Night's Dream!

This week in science... students should be completed their 3-D ocean animal models. They are due Friday. Some of them are coming in already and they look GREAT! Presentations start Friday. While we will spend Friday and all next week on our presentations, all students should be ready to go this Friday.
Students will also be taking home a Geology Study Guide this Friday. Students should be prepared for the assessment on Thursday, June 11.

This week in Social Studies... we are preparing 3 Readers' Theaters! One group is working on acting out the Boston Massacre, one group the Boston Tea Party, and one group the Crossing of the Delaware! If last week's Slavery Interact is any indication of this class' creativity and acting abilities, these skits should be stellar!

This week in Math... we are wrapping up our Geometry Unit. The Geometry assessment will be Wednesday, June 3rd.

Check out a few more pictures from our field trip! A special thank you to Sam's dad, Mr. Allan for taking the time to tell us about Ocean Drilling and for the great packets we got to take home!
