Hello,
Our heritage feast last Friday was a huge success! All the food was delicious and much appreciated by all. Thanks so much to all of you who contributed a yummy dish!
Please be sure to come to Open House on Wed. night. I look forward to seeing you all.

I had to attend a district meeting today, so I was unable to send home student folders. They will come home tomorrow.

The students will also be responsible for a brief oral report on Thursday (I sent home a note explaining this today).

Hello,
As we talked about our heritage reports today, we thought it would be fun to have a "heritage potluck" next Friday (5/15) at lunchtime. We shared stories of favorite family recipes, many which were handed down through generations and were originally from other countries. I hope this will work for everyone - I know this is a busy time of year. Anyway, I'll send home a sheet next Monday requesting that each student brings in a dish to share with the class. I'm sure we'll end up with a varied and delicious feast that represents all our heritages!
***Book report due tomorrow!!!

Thanks,

Mrs. Koue

Please continue to work on the book report and heritage report. I'm seeing some cool posters!
I'll send home final checklists for both reports tomorrow.

Hello,
As we are still taking the STAR tests this week, I will not be assigning any homework except for the book report which is due this Friday and the heritage report which is due on the 14th. I've gone over all parts of the book report with the kids and have given them time in class to write their rough drafts and to work on their posters - so now they need to finish up at home. I will still give them time to work on their heritage reports in class this week, but they should be working on them at home as well.
I didn't send home folders this week, but I did give each student her/his AR point total so far this trimester. Please review this with your child. I'm encouraging everyone to take reading tests - reminding them that this practice is so important as they look toward 6th grade.

Thanks and have a good week.

Mrs. Koue
