Hello and welcome back! It was great to see everyone today. We had fun sharing our "break" experiences and talking about what we will be doing in class over the next few months. We also discussed how important it will be for them to stay focused and strive to do their best as they head toward 6th grade!
I sent home the January Scholastic Book order form today. I've encouraged everyone to order books if possible. This month the club is offering up to 5000 bonus points which I can use to purchase student book sets - so not only will your child have new books to read, I will be able to build our classroom library as well! I've set up an account for my class if you would like to order online. The user name is rio14 and the password is scholastic. Using this user name and password will give our class points. Thanks.
A quick reminder: Please be sure that your child has basic classroom supplies (binder paper, pencils, pencil sharpener, colored pencils and pens).
Thank you all again for your support. You have wonderful children and I feel very blessed to be working with them.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Koue

Hello and happy last week of the first half of 5th grade!!!
Excitement is in the air as we approach the winter break! I know things can get pretty hectic, juggling all the activities that take place this time of year with the usual school schedule. Thank you for helping your child stay focused on her or his school work during these final days.
Homework this week will consist only of the national park written and oral reports which are due on Wednesday. We worked on the posters in class today and will continue to do so tomorrow (don't forget to bring them back to school).
Looking ahead to 2010...I have scheduled a few field trips and will give you the dates now so you can put them on your calendar.
UCSC Life Lab: 2/12
Santa Cruz Symphony: 3/1
Elementary Law (Watsonville Courthouse): 3/11
I am also planning a trip to the National Weather Station in Monterey but don't have a date yet.
Thanks!

Hello,
We were talking in class today about holiday activities and decided that instead of a $5.00 gift exchange with classmates we would prefer to donate our money to a local charity. We decided on Jacob's Heart, an organization that supports families with children who have cancer. We thought $5.00 per student would be reasonable - but there's no obligation. Please do what works best for you. Thanks.
Remember that our poetry cafe will begin first thing tomorrow morning! Please come prepared!
