Friday, May 24th- Happy Summer!

     

Congratulations to our 5th Grade Graduates- we are so proud of you!

Here is a link to the filmed Talent Show.

We had a fantastic time on our Sky Ranch trip! Thank you for all that you did to help prepare your child for this awesome trip! 

We'd like to give a very special shout out to the parent chaperones that volunteered to come on this trip with us. This trip absolutely could not have happened without you. Thank you!

Our graduation ceremony will take place on Thursday, May 25th at 1:00 PM. We ask that you arrive by 12:30 or earlier so that everyone can be seated and ready for our ceremony to begin. Please RSVP to our 5th Grade Graduation Ceremony here!  This will help speed up the check-in process once you arrive at school for the ceremony. 

Students will be invited to dress up for the ceremony. We would suggest dress pants and a collared shirt and/or dresses or skirts with nicer shoes. If your fifth-grade boy is going to wear a tie, please pre-tie it before you send it to school. They can bring their nice clothes with them to school to change into after picnic lunch (which will be earlier than normal).

On the last day of school, Friday, May 24th, let’s get the kids together one last time for their final walk to school. 

Meet us early at the back entrance to Town Hall, by the rounded stairs, at 7am.

We will have donuts for the kids and will take a group picture before 7:20 when they walk to school together for the very last time.

Thank you!

5th Grade Room Parents

The 5th Graders will do a "last walk" on the last day of school. Parents are invited to come to the school to watch them as they partake in their last walk as an elementary student. You can stand in the front area (near the cafeteria and gym) as our 5th Graders exit the building. 

If you'd like to come and cheer, we suggest lining up around 12:10, as we plan to start our celebratory walk at 12:15. Students will still need to be officially dismissed by homeroom teachers, so it will be important for them to walk all the way through the breezeway outside to say goodbye to teachers before leaving with parents.

East Presentation

In Reading and Language Arts, we continued our Fantasy unit and autobiography projects.

 

In Social Studies, we will begin our last and final unit: US Geography

In math, the students are getting to work through Everyone Can Create- Math activities. These are creative ways for the students to see math in the real world and to get them thinking about math in different ways.  

In addition to going to camp, the kids will continue to finish up their Minecraft EDU biomes in Science and work on their camouflage butterfly activity once we return from camp. 

We have noticed that more and more of our students have been wearing smart watches and bringing cell phones to school, so we want to take a minute to be clear about expectations for those devices. 

Students are not permitted to communicate on their personal devices during the school day. (The same rule applies for their iPads.) This includes parents. Please help us in reinforcing this expectation.  If you need to get in touch with your son/daughter during the day, please email your child's teacher or call the front office. 

We have talked about these expectations with the students. We've let them know that if they are using their smart watch, cell phone, or other personal devices to communicate, they will receive one warning. After that one warning, we will ask for those devices to stay at home.
