I sent home information regarding the fifth grade "Friendship Breakfast" scheduled for Valentine's Day, Tuesday, 2/14.  The donation for this event is $5 per student.  Your child may also bring in Valentines for the class that day (there is no obligation to do so), and we will set aside a time for a short classroom celebration.

I sent home some corrected work today - it just keeps coming!

Hello and welcome back!   It was great to see everyone today.  It was fun sharing our winter break experiences and discussing the the things we will be doing during the second half of the year.  One of our first assignments is a book talk that I have scheduled for Thursday, February 2.  I handed out the worksheet today and explained the format of the report.
