Last week we were busy writing Mother’s Day cards for our moms. We also had an earthquake drill. This week we are studying hard for a Science Test on Tuesday May 15, 2012. The girls made a delicious soup in Home-Ec. with Mrs.Guse while the boys did a art project with Miss Pacleb. Also we are doing CAT test Mon.-Wed.

The Grade 5 class visited Tabor Court today to sing to the Grandmas and Grandpas. They also enjoyed chatting with them, and singing “Happy Birthday” to a lady who turned 100 today! WOW!
Multicultural night was a HUGE success! As we await the grand total, we know for sure that we are quickly approaching our goal of $10,000!! Thank you so much for supporting us!
Weekly Academic – Gr5 – Apr30
Some of the Grade 5 students wrote an introduction to our class for the latest Clarion. Here it is!
Welcome to Grade 5, a loving, welcoming, and creative class! We love learning about God and we always have BIG questions like how to get to heaven and how to pray for our families. We have lots to learn, but we still have fun. With Miss Maki, coffee is a very big topic! In Science, we enjoyed doing a “Gummy Bear” experiment, even though it failed the first time! Pajama Day was fun and we had a teddy bear the size of some of our students (and half the size of Miss Maki)! Thank you for visiting our creative, interesting class!

We are having a “Typing Blitz” week in order to master our typing skills. Please have your child practice their keyboarding at home! There are many online typing games. Here is one I like:
Congratulations to all the Grade 5 students who participated in our annual Speech Meet. The following students have been nominated to compete in the upcoming ACSI Speech Meet on April 13th: Jun, Kaylee, Emily, Dana, and Dacey. Great job, everyone!
Students had a great time at Fort Langley, learning about the Gold Rush. They also said heartfelt “Goodbyes” to their Korean friends. 
We had a great Valentines Day and decorated the room pink and red! We also did “Jump Rope 4 Hearts” on the same day, strengthening our hearts and raising money for others’ heart-health!
