5th Grade Weekly Update Jan 3-7

Dear 5th Grade parents and students,

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!  It’s hard to believe we are almost halfway through our fifth grade year. The students have already grown so much and it will be amazing to see what they do in these next five months…

IMPORTANT DATES:

INFORMATION/UPDATES:

Daily Assignment Printouts: will be DISCONTINUED after we return from break.  It will now be students’ responsibility to fill out their assignment notebook completely before leaving school each day.  

Supplies: many of the fifth graders supplies are missing/damaged/have run out.  Many students have lost or run out of glue sticks and many whiteboarding EXPO markers have dried up.  Please check in with your 5th grader regarding his/her supplies – especially pencils, colored correcting pens, EXPO markers and glue sticks.  Please replenish their stock of supplies over break if necessary.

World of Discovery Fair:  Students may begin their WODF Projects.  Students have four months to complete this project and should put a significant amount of time and effort into this project throughout that time period. Students will be graded by a panel of judges and awards will be given in each category.  We can’t wait to see our students’ artistic talents & gifts!
