Reminder:  Our holiday party will begin at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon.  Please come by if you can.

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

"Expert" booklet: Due on Thursday.

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 2017.  Besides nightly reading, the Puritan poster is due tomorrow and a Social Studies lesson worksheet and video presentation (which we will be working on in class) is due on Thursday. Our "Expert" informational booklet is also due on Thursday. Our holiday party is this Friday, and that wraps it up for the first half of the school year!
