Beverly Cleary School

• Last week of school. Students will be bringing items home all week long (e.g. school supplies, completed work, etc.)
• Please take a moment to complete this end of the year anonymous survey. Your feedback helps me improve my teaching practice. Thanks!
  
• No spelling test this week!
  
  

If there are field trips that you did not send payment in for, then I will let you know tomorrow. Please let me know if you need assistance with the payment.

5th graders went to OMSI on the 4th of June. The cost of the trip was $15. Please let me know if you need assistance with this cost.

In math, 4th grade students are taking a unit test, watching a fun math movie, and doing some final day celebration. Math will conclude on Wednesday.

In reading, 5th grade students will continue the novel My Side of the Mountain. Students will complete journals and other activities for this book. 4th graders will be reading through their Jr. Great Book and completing a few discussion sessions.

In social studies, 4th and 5th graders will learn about the US Civil War through learning stations.

Thanks to John and Hillary Currier, we'll be finishing our art installation in the school this week. Students selected an Oregon city and will be creating a sign post identifying the direction of the city from Beverly Cleary School. A small drawing of what the city is known for will be completed by the students on the back of the each sign.

See below for grade specific updates, spelling list, and notes. (Not updated for the week of June 10th)

Thanks for your support and please let me know if you have questions.

Click here for this week's lesson plans. These plans include only the student learning objective and unit/lesson number. Objectives are indicated after the acronym SWBAT (Student will be able to). Color is used to indicate grade level objectives:

Green is fourth grade
Blue is fifth grade
Orange is both

I teach fourth grade math, so I only have fourth grade learning objectives on my general plans. You can click between the 'sheets' on excel (a tab located at the bottom of the browser after you open the document) to get to reading plans and my Junior Great Book plans.

Pick-up after school is on the side of the school at Hancock St. Please send a note if someone not on the pick-up list is picking up your child. You can write a note that will cover pick-up routines for the entire year.

Please return any information/signatures that were requested in the packet you received the first day of school.

Unit and lesson taught is indicated after each subject on the plans... See PPS curriculum website for more info regarding procedures and materials used.
