Welcome Back . . .8 more weeks until summer break!

YIKES!  Time is moving exponentially faster.  We are in the last quarter of 5th grade.  I can hardly believe this year is almost over.  Here are a few big dates to put on your calendar.

Wednesday, April 2nd - Reading Calendars Due

Thursday, April 3rd - Scheduled Parent Teacher Conferences.  I will notify you by email/and or phone to make an appointment.  REPORT CARDS sent home.

Friday, April 4th - Drop in Conferences.  Questions, comments, concerns, compliments just pop by.  I'd  love to chat.

Monday-Wednesday, April 28,29,30  ISAT and SBAC testing days.  More info to come.

Thursday, May 15th - Science Fair/Auction   Science Fair projects are to be completed at home and brought in for judging that day.  We are also having a class basket to auction off.  I am in desperate need of donations.  Our class theme is Family Date Night.  Think board games, movie tickets, restaurant gift cards, etc.   100% of the money goes back to the school.

Class Party Time again - Friday, April 4th
Our class, through hard work and good behavior, has earned another class party.  Students may wear PJ's to school and bring electronics.  We will be watching Frozen as our movie.  Treats are allowed.
