The First Friday of Fun

Hello Parents,

Here is a quick video from last week Friday.  The kids had a great time trying to complete the 5th grade readiness assessment!  Make sure you ask them about it!  We also had a little fun at the end of the day with a watermelon eating contest between the classes.  I hope everyone is settling into the school year.

Parent Meeting September 20th 5:30pm

There will be a parent meeting to discuss some specific 5th grade events; such as the bike trip, field trips, and camp. 

Back Together Again!

“Stories of the Great Lakes Sturgeon” Books

  Welcome back everyone!  I was so excited to see all of you on the first Open House night!  Hopefully, all of you received your books.  The hardcovers will not be here for a few weeks.  Trust me I am as upset as you about it!  But, they will be here.  It was amazing to see the kids again and I was very excited to get this long awaited project back in their hands.  The originals are still hanging in the room and will be on display for the first few weeks of school.  We have had a great first week, and we are definitely back in the groove! 

I am very excited to work with your kids again this year!  We will have a similar format to last year, although there be some new additions to our reading program.  There are quite a number of fantastic novels that are part of the 5th grade library.  Throughout the year students will be choosing a book and doing a project to showcase their learning. 

As a fifth grade team we will schedule a Parent Meeting very soon.  Please stay tuned!
