As we come to the end of the first half of fifth grade, I want to thank everyone again for the terrific support you have given your children this first half of the year. It's been a pleasure getting to know you all.
Have a wonderful winter break. Enjoy time with family and friends, get some rest, and have lots of fun!
Best wishes to you all.
Mrs. Koue
***Remember to keep reading over the break. I will be assigning a "book talk" activity when we return in January

Everyone did a terrific job last Friday during our Poetry Cafe. What a treat it
was for me to listen to so many wonderful poems by such a diverse group
of poets! So much fun! Thanks to all parents who brought in treats. This made the morning even more special.
Homework will be light this final school week of 2016. Besides nightly reading, there is a vocabulary quiz on Wednesday and a Social Studies lesson worksheet and video presentation also due on Wednesday. Our holiday party is this Thursday, and that wraps it up for the first half of the school year!
