Happy Spring Break....

Today we saw an amazing Civil War presentation by Manzanita's fifth graders.  Our class (and you) have a wonderful experience to look forward to for next year.

The U.S. Symbol Projects are wrapping up.  We have enjoyed hearing and learning about the symbols. The use of the Smart Board for slide presentations has been outstanding.  I am so proud of the effort by the students.

Progress continues to happen with the 40 Book Challenge.  Many students have completed the challenge or are very close to completion.  Way to go, fourth graders....

Spelling tests will not take place until after AIMS.  Our AIMS tests are on April 15, 16, 17, and 18.  We will ask for snack donations, and students may bring gum to chew during the testing.  Wow!

Our next field trip will be to the Symphony on May 1.  Can you believe that May is not far away?

Have a relaxing week away from school, and I'll see you when school resumes on Monday, April 8th.  Thanks for all of your support.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

Terrific Tubac Trip...

Parents, thank you so much for all of your help to make our trip to Tubac so successful.  We learned a lot  and had fun at the same time.  Be sure to ask your child about his/her favorite part.  We are sharing some of the pictures from our trip with you.  Please enjoy.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful children with me.
