Cajun Fiddle:
We finished up the fiddle program with Kelly Thibodeaux, and you can click on the link below of your child’s class to see the group video of the swamp story.
Le français:
Mme Jana, French & Science kincaid_j@4j.lane.edu
•We learn to create an interrogative sentence using subject-verb inversion.
•We present our country to other students. We stand straight, enunciate, pronounce French words correctly, are prepared to share dates and statistics in French, and demonstrate that we know our country.
•We listen to other students’ presentations to learn about other francophone countries, and we learn to ask appropriate questions and to share pertinent and pleasant comments.
All the students in the blue class have completed and presented their francophone country. Yay! The red class still has six more kids to present, which will hopefully happen on Monday. So, the completed projects will likely go home on Tuesday or Wednesday. Students have done a great job, even though it’s their first time presenting something this lengthy in front of a group. Please ask your children to present their francophone countries to you at home. They represent a lot of work.
We began spring French assessments a couple of weeks ago, and nearly everyone has completed reading, comprehension, writing, and listening. We’ll spend a little time next week on the Speaking assessment.

Review Unit: Calculating with four operations
Last week, students solved very complex, multiple step problems involving addition, subtraction, and multiplication. These were very challenging for all students! This week we continue to focus on multiplication and division strategies. As we finish each section of review, students will complete a review quiz. Students will bring these quizzes home the last week of school for you to see what they have mastered this year.
English:
We are working through a Social Studies unit, Oregon: How it became a state. Students read a text called Oregon Trail by Mel Friedman and this week will read a text about how the expansion of the United States affected indigenous people. As students read, they are making a U.S. historical Map & timeline and are taking notes. Later this week, students will create Oregon history board games to play during the last week of school to wrap up the unit. They’ll bring these home for you to play, too.
HOME PROJECT: Family history stories
To encourage students to learn about their own histories, the homework for the next few weeks is a personal history project. This can be as formal or informal as your family has time for, but the general requirements are:
At home, talk with your parents about family stories. How did your ancestors or others end up in Oregon? With your parent’s help, choose one of the following and be prepared to share it with the class:
I. Make a family tree
II. Write or type a family story that is important or interesting to you. (Talk with a parent, grandparent, or another person important to you.)
III. Find out about a person in your family. Why did they move to Oregon?
IV. Find out about someone in history (not in your family) who traveled on the Oregon Trail or who immigrated to America.
This is not a graded assignment, but it is meant to be a way for students to connect history to their lives. Though students may create a product such as a poster or a report or interview, the evaluation will focus on how to speak in front of a group using eye contact and audible volume. If you have any questions or if you think your child will need support from me on this project, please let Shelli know (hopper_s@4j.lane.edu).
