The Weekly Roar

Oak Run Middle School Visit
It's time for us to take your precious kiddos over to the middle school to take a tour of the campus. We will tour ORMS on Tuesday, April 30th. We will leave Seele around 9:15 and be back around 10:45.
This is exciting but sad. It's hard to believe it's almost time for us to let these kids go, but it's exciting to have been a part of their growth in education and helping them on to the next step of their journey.
Thank you for all of your support!
Your 5th Grade Team,
Mrs. Blackman & Mrs. Schluter
GO BLUE, ALWAYS!

- We will continue working on our fREADom reading.
- We will continue to work on summarizing using GIST and checking our comprehension by using Author’s Portrait.
- We will continue to practice our choral reading. This is a great way to help with fluency. We read a paragraph together out loud as a class at a pace that I set. The more we practice this, the faster we will get and the more fluent we will become. The kids really have fun doing this!
- Your child should continue reading nightly for 30 minutes and then getting their reading log initialed.
Social Studies:
- We will continue to look at the diverse people of the west, Mexicanos, Pioneers, Mormons, Forty-Niners, Chinese Immigrants Oregon Pioneers and Nez Perce.
