Greetings!
Thanks for all the treats for our Valentine's Day party. We had a great time.
We are currently in the process of setting goals based on MAP testing results. After we finish the SMART Goasl (Specific, Measurable, Action plan, Realistic, Time limit) we will send a copy home for your review and signature. These will come home next week. If you and your child choose to make revisions after discussions, please note that on the paper when you return it to school.
Please continue to encourage your child to study Shakespeare lines out loud. We are currently putting together costumes and using practice props. I will be looking for folks to help with ironing and mending costumes. We also need a photographer and a crew to help strike the set after the show. Please email me if you are available for any of these tasks.
Thank you for all you do to make fifth grade a very happy place!
Carpe Diem!
"If you ever feel lost, let your heart be your compass."
