Pfaff's Fabulous 5th Grade!
Tutoring on 11/18 until 4.
Veterans Day Flag Retirement Ceremony
Our school held a flag retirement ceremony on Veterans Day. We were honored to have had a number of veterans with us to share in the ceremony.
Expressing our thanks for their service.
Our students were able to speak with a Vietnam veteran and learn about his service dog that helps him with his PTSD.
"Big Ralph" Gilmore shared with our class some of his experiences while serving in the Air Force during the Korean War.
Food Drive Competition!
5B has decided to set a goal as a class of not just bringing the 2 cans of vegetables requested of each student. They want to try to reach 75 so they can have popcorn in class one day. If they hit 100 cans, we will have a bonus incentive. It could be the popcorn in class and either an extra recess, bring a board game to school or something else along those lines. The food drive is on now and ends on Friday, November 20th. Please check kidmail for additional items to bring and don't forget your dollar to help defray the cost of turkeys!
The New England Colonies
We started chapter 5 in Social Studies Friday. This chapter is all about The New England Colonies. I am hoping the students enjoy learning about how our country came to be!
Math update
We are still working on fractions! Once we complete this chapter we will move into multiplication.
Saint Game
On November 19th we will participate in the Saint Game. Our class will be learning more about St. Joan of Arc, St. Peter Quy, St. Francis of Assisi and St. Mary Magdelene in the next week.
Pizza Party!
5B will celebrate being the winners of the class that sold the most raffle tickets for Kountry Karnival on Tuesday, 11/24. We will have a pizza party so your child does not need to bring a lunch that day. I will provide more details in a future newsletter.
Christmas Store is December 1-3! More details coming soon!
