5th Grade Newsletter

December 18, 2018

This Thursday will be our last day of school for the year

2018, then we’ll see our students again on January 2nd.  

We hope you plan to spend some good bonding time with

your families.

We are planning our next Worker’s Holiday to be

held January 2nd, the day we get back from Christmas

break.  In order for students to qualify for this Worker’s

Holiday, they need to turn in all missing work by this

Thursday, 20th, and earn 80% or higher on their progress

reports.    Those progress reports were sent home today,

so please look for them and send back the red slip

verifying that you have looked over their report.

We plan to have Christmas parties on Thursday, but each

class will be different.  Your child’s teacher will let you know

what you can expect.  *Mrs. Payne's class has decided that
if students want to bring a treat, they can; but if they do,
they need to bring a treat for the entire class (29 students).
Students don't need to bring anything at all--their choice.
Also, Mrs. Payne will NOT have a gift exchange :)

The year is almost half over--hard to believe!   We loved

hearing the orchestra students perform at our Christmas Sing

yesterday.  They did a great job! There’s nothing like music

to bring in the spirit of the season.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your

families!

Mrs. Payne, Mr. Sahagun, Mrs. Williams, and Mrs. Little

Wednesday, January 16.

FIFTH GRADE NEWSLETTER

FOR

DECEMBER 5, 2018

    Can you believe we are pretty much halfway through the school
year?  Time sure does fly by when you are having fun.

    We only have two more weeks until Christmas break and yet there
is a lot left to accomplish before then, so we ask that students really try
to make it to school every day to stay caught up before the end of the
quarter.  

    Christmas break will start on Friday, December 21st and will
resume on Wednesday, January 2nd.  Progress reports will be
sent home with students on Tuesday, December 18th and any
missing work your child may have,  will need to be handed into
their teacher by Thursday, December 20th, in order to qualify
for Workers Holiday. The next Workers Holiday will be on
Wednesday, January 2nd.  This will be the same day the students
come back to school from their Christmas break.  More information
about the Workers Holiday will be sent home in the next newsletter.

    With the weather getting colder, we ask that students come to
school dressed in appropriate attire to handle the cold.  Students
never know when they are going to be required to stay outside for
lunch breaks or afternoon breaks, and if they are not dressed for the
cold weather, those break times can be miserable for them.  Please
make sure your child wears their coats to school and are always
prepared for an outside day at break time.

    We do appreciate you parents and all of the help you give us in
helping your child succeed.

Mrs. Little, Mrs. Payne, Mrs. Williams and Mr. Sahagun
