Weekly Update 2/19

Science
We started Diversity of Life this week with definitions of life and things that all life does. We will pick that up next week but will spend most of next week focused on the Science Fair. Projects should be close to completion by the end of day on next Monday. We will have all class on Monday to work on them and I am excited to see the results. Most students have worked very hard and have done some very interesting experiments and research.

The 5th Grade Science Fair is February 26th, from 1:30 to 3:00 in your students homeroom. Students will be presenting their material and getting a chance to look at others works in the three classes. For any information, please feel free to contact Mr. Hill at jdhill@seattleschools.org.

Social Studies, Mr. Hill's Class
We are continuing to look in depth into the Pocahontas story. Students have read extensively about her and watched a video about her role in saving Jamestown. They are currently in the middle of writing about who they think she was and how her story has been exaggerated and changed. I look forward to reading their work.
