FIFTH GRADE NEWSLETTER

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26,2017

Parents,

    We hope you all enjoyed your spring break.  It was so nice to take a week off this time of year to take a breather for a minute and be ready for all the events coming up in the next month.

    All fifth graders will start their SAGE testing tomorrow.  We will start off with the writing and reading tests.  Please refer to the schedule at the end of this letter for upcoming events and for other testing dates, so that you can make sure your child is here on those important testing days.

     An event coming up quick is the Kite Flight, which is this Saturday, April 29th.  Students can drop off their Kite Flight reading forms between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM.  When students hand in their forms they can earn a free kite or book, and help our school earn money.  It is so easy and well worth it.  I know fifth graders sometimes feel cheated because they are moving onto a different school and won’t see the benefits of what the money is used towards, but what they need to realize is they helped contribute to such a great cause, and they should be proud to be a part of that, especially when they are required to read each night anyway; why not get a little something extra out of it?  

     The Color Run is another event coming right up, on Wednesday, May 3rd.  Students need to make sure and wear a white or light colored shirt that they can get really dirty and colorful.  Sun glasses will be sold at school on May 1st and 2nd for this event, if students want to purchase a pair.  They are selling them for $2.00.  

     The fifth grade Orchestra students will be having a short Orchestra concert on Friday, May 5th.  This will be at 1:30, in the Gym.  

     The last newsletter for fourth quarter will be on Wednesday, May 10th.  We will  have costume checks on this day, as well.  Students need to bring their costumes to school this day, not wear them.  Please make sure your child is memorizing his/her part for the Famous American program.  

    Please go over what is coming up in the next few weeks with your child.  

    Thank you.

                                                             Sincerely,

                                                             Mrs. Little, Mrs. Payne and Mrs. Williams
