The science fair was great! So wonderful to see the 4/5s teaching the little kids during the day, and I was amazed by number of Emerson families present for the evening event. Thank you to all of you out there who spent a lot of time helping your students. I think will be the beginning of a really special Emerson tradition! Thanks to the 4/5 teacher team, Ms. Hodge, and the PTA for their support, too!
This week, students reviewed mineral properties with Ms Peggy on Tuesday. (I was in Big Basin with the BAM 5th graders that I also teach.) On Thursday, we examined pink granite and tried to identify the minerals present using our mineral property tables - feldspar, quartz, mica, hornblende.
Next week, students will be taking a quiz reviewing rocks, mineral properties, etc. A study guide will go home Tuesday. Students will be able to use their notebook, as with other previous quizzes. If you have questions, please let me know! Thanks!
