Hello Families!
Just a quick update on fifth grade happenings!
Reminder there is no school on Friday, March 30th.
The students have been working diligently these last few weeks on sharpening up their
reading and writing skills, as well as, math. Continue to support them at home by making
sure they are completing their homework assignments and reading at least 40 minutes each
night. We are working on building our stamina for the upcoming ELA test! We hope they are
using the opportunity to get on the computer and try out Reading A to Z and First in Math
at home. They really love doing this at center time in school!
Congratulations to the runner-ups for their selections in the science fair. They included: Xzaviere Byrd, Ferit Brace, Razaun White, and the two winners that went to represent our school Kyle Jakovic and Eli Lee. Great JOB! We are waiting to hear the results in anticipation! The rest of the students did a wonderful job presenting their science fair projects and demonstrations. It was evident how hard everyone worked on them.
Next book reports are due April 16th - students should have a clear idea of what their doing
at this point. Looks like the cold weather is back - stay warm!
