Update from Ms. Luria and pictures

Dear Families,

We had such a wonderful week! Students finished their realistic fiction and/or narrative stories and shared them with the class on Friday. You can see some of the stories on the blog that students completed. Students choose and either read their story out loud once to the whole class, or three different times to smaller groups of students.

We also had a phenomenal field trip where we learned about salmon adaptations, climbed up to Multnomah falls and planted saplings to create more shade.

In science we are learning about animal adaptations. Ask your child about an example of how an animal adapts to its environment!

Not only did we learn about animal adaptations, but also about plant adaptations. Ask your child what SWAN means and about the three different types of leaves. 

Students finished their first IB unit. They created designs of coins and designed their own symbols! They also wrote an essay about their coins. If you have not seen them, please check them out on our bulletin board. 

Thank you for all of your Scholastic Book orders. These are just some of the books we were able to add to our school library because of your orders!

Have a wonderful four day weekend!
