Summer break is upon us. It has been a GREAT year, and it sure has gone by fast. I have mixed feelings about my 6th graders moving on to middle school. While I am going to miss them, I am excited for them and the new page about to unfold in their lives.
I am looking forward to the new fifth graders coming in next year. I am also looking forward to see just how much my present fifth graders will mature over the summer.
I know the students are ready for their summer activities.
Enjoy your break, and I will see you all on August 15th at parent/teacher night!
Have a wonderful summer vacation!

There are 8 1/2 days left in the school year, and the last two weeks are proving to be very busy. The fifth graders are finishing up their Civil War projects. The sixth graders transition day is Wednesday 05/18, and their going away party is Thursday 05/19.
Our class is continuing to work on spelling, daily language review, writing paragraphs, and reading the book "The Borrowers".
In math we are reviewing time and money.
The school year has gone by quickly. However, we are still working very hard, in class, to finish out the school year while we adjust for the end of the year activities.

Be sure to check your students backpack for field trip permission slips.
We have had a busy week. On Tuesday we went to the Andy Dalton Conservation Area and spent the morning fishing. Then we went to the archery range and learned to shoot a bow and arrow. Finally, we had a huge cookout of hamburgers, hot dogs, drinks, etc. Fortunately the weather was dry and sunny.
On Thursday we enjoyed going to the High School for a performance of "Wiley and the Harry man". All of the students enjoyed this greatly.
We have more field trips coming up. We have transition day for the sixth graders in the next coming weeks. We are working on the spring DRA's the see how much we have improved our reading skills. Along with all of these activities, we are still maintaining schoolwork for the remaining of the year. The fifth grade students are working on their Civil War projects.
I know the students are looking forward to a well earned summer break. However, we still have work to be done before the end of the semester. It is an exciting time of the year!
