Students will need 1 piece of paper and crayons, colored pencils or markers for next week’s PE lesson. 

It’s hard to believe but we are in the final days of 5th grade!  While we have some fun activities planned for the next couple weeks, we also have important content to review to ensure that students are prepared for their move into middle school.  Thank you for continuing to emphasize the importance of being engaged and attentive during class each day.

Please encourage your student to check their grades for any missing assignments.  These are entered as 50s in the gradebook.  I will not be checking and changing grades after Wednesday, June 9th.  All 50s will remain after June 9th.  I remind the students regularly to check their grades so there are no surprises.

Reminder:  Please send  me two recent pictures of your student to include in the End of the Year slideshow and two baby pictures to include in our Who is that Baby? Kahoot.  Thanks so much!
