Please return Spring picture payment and/or any unwanted pictures to school. You may also pay for pictures on mylifetouch.com.
Please remind your child to always have their cell phone off when at school, not just muted or on vibrate. We have had an increase of cell phones ringing during class. Thank you for your help.
No more lunchroom charges.
Please return the reservation part of the Fifth Grade Finale invitation to your homeroom teacher. We need an accurate account so we can ensure we have enough seating.

Reading and Word Study with Mrs. Lee
Reading: Students are continuing their book clubs. As students read, they are working to not just read the words, but look and journal about significant events, people, etc. This deeper level of reading guides students to a greater understanding of a story and not just knowing what it is about. I have enjoyed listening to their conversations about their books.
Writing with Mrs. Rogers
Science and Social Studies with Ms. Wiley
The 1975-2001 retake will be on May 6th. Students must complete all parts of the Summative Mastery Ticket, and attach ALL work to the ticket. Remember students can only retake 2 assessments per subject, per semester.
Science:
This week we continued learning about Electricity & Magnetism. Students saw real life examples and participated in labs to learn more about these topics.

Students have their study guides for this test, and should be studying nightly for this assessment.
