FIFTH GRADE NEWSLETTER

Wednesday, November 1, 2017

Parents,

    We hope all of you had a happy and safe Halloween.  It is hard to believe that November is already here.

    Remember that all Reflections are due this Friday, November 3rd.  Mrs. Davis did some fun art projects with the students, so we hope that a few students chose to enter those in the Reflection contest.

    On Friday, the 10th of November, the fifth grade classes will be taking a bus over to the Veteran’s Memorial Park Center to sing for the Memorial service.  If you would like to go watch your child sing at this Memorial, students will be singing at 10:00 am.  The students will be walking back to the school after they perform, so they will need to make sure and bring good walking shoes and dress appropriately for the weather that day.  

    The next print out will be on Wednesday, November 15th, so the first Reading Revolution Book Report for second term will be due on Tuesday, November 14th. (This is just for Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Little’s classes).  Mrs. Payne’s students are expected to read three (3) more books this term, and Reading Journals are due each Wednesday.  

    The Maturation Program is coming up, as well.  Remember this will be on Tuesday, November 21st at 2:00.  The ladies will be in the library and the gentlemen will be in the gym.  Parents are welcome to take their child home with them after the presentation.  This will be the Tuesday before we are out for Thanksgiving Break.  Students will be out for the Thanksgiving Break from Wednesday, November 22nd through Friday, November 24th.

    We wanted to make parents aware of a tutoring program that is available to the public.  It is located at North Elementary and is run by college students from SUU.  This is for students that are in grades K-12th and it is FREE…  The days students can attend are Tuesdays from 3:30 to 8:00 pm, Wednesdays from 1:30 to 5:00 pm and Thursdays from 3:30 to 8:00 pm. This is a great opportunity, so if your child needs help in math, writing, language etc. and you don’t have a lot of time on your hands to help them,  make sure to check the tutors out at North Elementary.

    We appreciate all that you do to help us with your children in making sure they succeed.

                                                                           Sincerely,

                                                                         Mrs. Little, Mrs. Payne and Mrs. Williams
