SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER

Off to a GREAT START!

We are off to a great start! As you can see, in 5th grade we hit the road running! We are in full force. Everyone is working hard to keep the fast pace. Please be sure you check the purple folder EACH WEEK and sign it.  Please be sure to sign the agenda every night,  Monday - Friday.

Civil War topics have been assigned.  Please look for the information sheet about it. It is due 9/7.  Students will have had multiple opportunities at school to do their research.  Any student needing supplies for project can see me.  I am happy to provide poster boards for students who need them.  

 4-H Elections are this month!  All posters are due by 9/12 if someone is running for office!

Email: If you have email I need to have your address. Please be diligent in checking the email address you give me. I will send notes and notices often if I have your email.

Thanks again for your support as we get started. I'm looking forward to what the next few weeks bring!
