History & Geography
- This week reviewed our unit on The United States Constitution. We had fun doing a mock legislative session for our end of the unit celebration. We may have some politicians on our hands! We prepared for the upcoming field trip by researching some of our stateś symbols and our state and local leaders. Below is some information on our upcoming field trip.
Dear Families,

A few important notes:
*Please bring a lunch that is completely disposable, including water so we will not need to return to our cars to return our lunch bags or carry them around during our tour.
*Please wear your Spanish With Sarah garb.
*I wrote to Governor Insleeś office to see if we could meet him personally. While they were unable to set an appointment, they did say to go by his office to see if he might be available. Please do so during your scavenger hunt time. We might get lucky!
*Governor Inslee will be signing bills which is open to the public. This will take place between 3:30 and 5:30. This will be decided on a chaperone by chaperone basis if they will choose to stay for this. The bills being signed will be posted on Friday, May 10th.
See you Monday Morning!

La lectura
We finished our LA story: La doctora nueva. Students did a great job summarizing the story and writing their summaries.
We’ve really been focusing on how to answer in complete sentence by picking apart questions and our answers. This will continue to be a daily practice.
Students also received a new spelling list on Friday. They will have a test next Friday, May 17th. (Dean´s birthday, sorry Dean!)
Ciencias
This week we read all about the different water environments. The students learned to take VERY good notes! They started by just drawing pictures of the different environments but then, when asked which notebook they would like to use during a test….., they quickly caught on and began including all the vital information in their notes too. This was such a great lesson and one that will serve them well in the future!
We also had Mr. Russ come in to help us transplant our pea seedlings and give us a lesson on our irrigation system and the drip method we use.
