Hello,

Excitement is definitely in the air as we begin our final week of 5th grade. It's been a wonderful year for me, and I feel so lucky to have had this terrific group of students.

We have a full week planned. We've already had a group of students from Aptos High teach us environmental studies lessons today - very fun! Tomorrow we will be presenting our play, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Play times are at 8:20 (We need to begin before 8:30 to accommodate the primary classes who are coming) and after recess at 10:40. Hope to see some parents there! Thursday is, of course, the Boardwalk trip. Parents, please meet in our classroom at 10:25.

Thanks and enjoy the week.

Hello everyone,

I've had many parents volunteer to drive to the Boardwalk next week. You are all welcome to come - thank you! I will confirm with each of you individually later this week.

I have sent home another letter regarding next year's combination class. This one comes from the administration, and Mrs. Dorney has requested that I send it to all my parents.

My students will be putting on a classroom play next Wednesday, 6/1, and parents are invited to attend. I'm hoping to have two performances, around 8:30 and 10:45. I will confirm this schedule by the end of this week.

I sent home corrected work today and everyone received a yellow half sheet (almost all were satisfactory - yeah!)

Thanks and have a good week.

Hello everyone,

I hope you all had a good spring break. It was nice to relax and recharge a bit!

We will resume testing this week with our Language Arts and Science portions of the CSTs. I won't be assigning the usual homework. I'm only asking that the completed book reports be turned in by this Friday.

I sent home the permission slips for the 5th grade Boardwalk trip today. The event will take place on Thursday, Jun 2. The cost for an unlimited ride wristband is $20.95. Please make checks out to the Rio del Mar Parent Alliance. Because I need to send in payment at least 3 weeks before the trip, I need to collect all money by Wednesday, May 11. If your child already has a season pass, she/he may, of course, use it on the day of the trip.

Thanks and have a good week.
