Our Compliment Celebration!

Yeah! Way to go 5th graders! You did it AGAIN! Congratulations on earning 15 compliments and earning another celebration. Friday granola bar, we will be dressing up as our favorite character in a book (remember, no masks of any kind or scary/bloody/yucky stuff!) and dancing around in celebration of our accomplishments. You may bring in snacks on that day to be eaten in the afternoon during our celebration. I am proud of you!

Welcome Back!!

Hello! I am so excited to see you on Monday! I hope everyone had a fun and healthy track-out. Remember to return your Monday snowball folders and the report card envelope signed by your parent (the actual report card is yours to keep). We will be moving desks and creating new teams on Monday. I already have a map worked out that I think will work out really well, so come to school with your moving muscles ready. :o)
I have conferenced with many of your parents and I told them wonderful things about you - we are looking forward to another great quarter. We will be studying inferencing, cause & effect, and sequencing in Reading; business letters and news articles in Writing; decimals, fractions, multi-digit multiplication and division in Math; Native Americans, exploration, and colonists in Social Studies, and we will learn Motion and Design together in Science. And we will learn so much more!
Have a great weekend - see you soooooon!~Mrs. Taylor
