Coloma ~ Letters from HOME
Our time at the Coloma Outdoor Discovery School is quickly approaching. J YEAH!!! Your child will be away from home for 3 days—hard for both parents and kids!! It would be nice if your child had some “mail” to receive while they are at camp. They might not feel so far from home if they could read a letter from you!! Please put any letters you want your child to have at camp in an envelope with their name [first & last] on it. Consolidate multiple letters into “Night #1” and “Night #2” envelopes—that will greatly ease our delivery process. We will distribute them at camp in the evenings. Please try to have the letters to us by Thursday, March 7th. Thank you for making the camp experience a memorable one!!
Camper Handbooks were sent home via email!!!!
Hiking Shoes for Coloma
Don't forget to find a comfortable pair of shoes you can hike in for Coloma. Day two is an all day hike that takes us up over a ridge to look back down on the valley. Be sure if you are buying hiking boots/shoes that you break them in well before Coloma. Don't forget to pack some thick socks as well. We have had kids get bad blisters from new shoes their feet weren't used to. It wouldn't hurt to get out and take a few longer walks [in your hiking shoes] on these beautiful days of sunshine. We want kids to have maximum fun and learning on our Gold Rush trip. [We are 18 days away]

Book Report
I sent home the next Book Report. It is due March 19th. Students may choose between an Historical Fiction, an Award Winner , or a Sports Fiction [not biography or non-fiction] book . They may choose one of the following to present their Book Report: a Google Presentation, a Cereal Box, or a Fancy Folders Directions will be available in class once they have selected their book. Books must be at least 100 pages and pre-approved by me before they begin. I will briefly went over each possible project so that your child knows what each one involves. Paper copies are available in class once they make a decision. I also posted the directions to each project on my website.
5th Grade Bound
We are at the halfway point in the year. I always give the kids a talk about how my job has changed. The first half of the year I was molding 3rd graders in to 4th graders but now I am moving them toward being 5th graders. My expectations have increased and I will be looking for much more detailed work from them. You can review your child's work, grades, and my comments in Google Classroom anytime. Ask your student to show you...
