~What's
happening in Room B9~
In Math
we are finishing covering our 5th grade math content. Once we
are done with the last few units, we will be covering 6th grade
content to get the students ready for middle school math. In Writing we are working
on Persuasive Essays. Each student
has chosen a topic to focus on in his/her persu asive essay, and
we are writing them in class. Students do need to do some at
home research on their topics to be prepared for their in class
writing. The Persuasive Essays are due May 25th. We are now
participating in our
Civil War Simulation. We are learning about the
history of the Civil War over the new few weeks of school. The students
now have information on their next Book
Report Assignment, a Poetry Recital. Each student has
signed up for a recital date. They need to practice their poem
so that they know it by heart to recite to the class. Recitals
will be the week of May 21st through May 25th. Please refer to the Projects Page for specifics.
The Curie Performance is this week.
We also have our last classroom auction
coming up next week. Donations are greatly appreciated!

Civil War Simulation
We are continuing our learning of United
States history with the Civil War. In the next few weeks the
students will be participating in simulations at school to
experience this important time in history. This experience
includes taking on Civil War identities, working in contingents,
and battling between the North and the South (the battle
progresses with a point system). We are enjoying this exciting
experience. Talk to your children about what they are learning.

Curie Performance
This week is the annual
Curie Performance. The Curie students, parents, and teachers
have been working hard on perfecting the dances and skits. Good
luck to all the performers. Mrs. Daglio cannot wait to see the
show!
B9's May Birthdays

Room B9 has
no birthdays this month. We do have Gavin and Cameron with
birthdays in June.

It's May
already! They say that April showers bring May flowers. It will
be nice to be done with the rain and enjoying the San Diego
sunshine. It
will be another busy month for Room B9. We have the Curie
Performance, the Volunteer Tea, Hyatt Career Day, our Poetry
Recitals, our Marine Science Floating Lab Field Trip, and the
Junior Olympics! This year is quickly coming to a close. Make
sure to enjoy these last weeks.
