5th Grade Newsletter-May 15, 2019

Dear Parents,

    It’s hard to believe that this is the last newsletter for the year. Only 4-½ school days left!  Our Great Americans Program exceeded our expectations.  The students performed better than expected, and their chosen characters were inspiring.  Thank you for supporting your child in coming up with a costume, helping with their lines, and attending this event.

In our school assembly this morning (Wednesday) we recognized twenty of our students who achieved the Patriot Award.  They each received a beautiful plaque.  We are really proud of them for working hard on this United States of America challenge.  

We presented the Reading Revolution certificates on Monday, and throughout this week students will be reaping the rewards of their reading efforts--starting today with the Judicial and Freedom awards (ice cream sundae party, and pizza party).  Tomorrow is our Congressional award (movie/popcorn), and Friday is the Executive award (Breakfast in the Park).  Again, we are proud of those students who did the work to make this happen.  If any of you would like to help cook breakfast or chaperone students on Friday morning at the West Canyon Park, let your child’s teacher know.  We plan to ride the bus to the park and walk home by 11:00 AM.  

All missing work must be turned in by this Friday, May 17th, in order to attend our next Worker’s Holiday on Monday-which is our Tent Day.  Here are a few details you need to know for Tent Day.  Students are responsible for their own tent-if they bring one.  No electronic devices will be allowed, and all tent doors must be visible and accessible by the teachers.  We expect appropriate behavior so that every student can have a positive experience.

Thank you again, for being informed supportive parents. We love these students and wish them the very best as they move on to middle school.  Thank you for sharing them with us this year!

Mrs. Payne, Mr. Sahagun, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Little
