FEBRUARY 26

5TH GRADE NEWSLETTER 

        

         February 14th was a day packed full of activities. From our class parties, to an early morning assembly, to our Worker’s Holiday games, the day was buzzing, but the best sight to see was the HUGE line of kids and loved ones lined up to attend Doughnuts with Dads! At one point, the line was wrapped halfway around the parking lot. Thank you for supporting such a great event for our students!

 Our last Worker’s Holiday was great fun, however we did have a handful of students who did not qualify. The end of quarter three is fastly approaching, so please make sure you are checking your child’s grades often and helping them set goals to qualify for the next Worker’s Holiday. We are continually encouraging students to stay on top of their work, and of course, we are always willing to help students understand assignments if they need some extra guidance. We also continue to provide extra study time on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons for those that are falling behind, just need a little extra help, or want to improve on specific assignments.

       Our Famous Americans list will be sent home today. Please look over the list with your child and help him or her choose several people they are interested in learning more about and who they would also like to “become” for a day. Keep in mind that we help students choose fairly, but your child may not get one of his or her first choices. This is the first step in our preparations for the end of year program and it’s a day full of excitement and fun.   

       Our annual 5th Grade Science Day will be held on March 31st. This is a day where students will share their projects with other students and parents, however, there will be no judges or winners. Students may complete an experiment, an engineering project, or a research paper to present. Please refer to the information and registration papers sent home today for further details. Registration forms are due on Friday, March 6th. 

       The next grade print out and blog up-date will be on Wednesday, March 11th and will include more information about the upcoming Worker’s Holiday.
