Welcome to Week 6! 

As I sit here and look at the calendar for this quarter, I cannot believe we are already in week 6! We have arrived to the final week of school before winter break.

This Week in 5th Grade:

• MAP Testing!! 5th grade has MAP testing on Thursday and Friday. It is very important to be here on our testing days.
• 5th grade will have a Holiday Party on Friday! If you did not receive my SignUp Genius email to sign up to donate for our celebration, you can click on here. Our celebration will take place at the end of the day. 
• We will still have a Vocab Quiz this Friday!
• 5th Grade is wrapping up our Q2 novel- Don Quixote this week!
• Don’t forget about the Sock Drive! Please donate socks and help homeless children in need. Sock Drive ends this Friday.

Future Announcements:

• 5th Grade’s annual trip to the Star of India is scheduled for January 14th. More information to come but I wanted to make you aware of the date since it is next month!

Last Week’s Highlights:

• We are so lucky to have Dinah (Maxwell’s Grandma) with us during Art this year. This quarter 5th grade is working on human form-drawing with balance and proportion.
• As difficult as this is, everyone is doing awesome! We have spent a lot of time measuring and making sure our drawings are accurate and proportionate.
• Thank you Dinah!!
