5th grade families,

After a quick winter break, we are back! I hope you all enjoyed your break. It was a crazy break for me…with the holidays, my wedding, and a quick trip up north but over all it is a time I will never forget! First off, I wanted to thank you for all your sweet gifts and the extremely gracious gift of money! Oh my goodness, I was shocked and speechless! Special thank you to Diego and Lisa Delgado for organizing that sweet surprise. I have never felt more loved and cared for by my students and parents before. I am continuously thankful for each and every student of mine and view my role as their 5th grade teacher as a very important job. Thank you for extending your thoughtfulness.

Reminders:

• Cereal Box Book Report is due January 16th! Directions were sent home before break. Lost yours? Click Cereal Box Book Report and Cereal Box templates to download a printable copy. For more examples and information, contact me! Get started NOW!
• Week 9  (the last week of Quarter 2) is quickly approaching. Please make sure your child is working on unfinished work at home. Start those optional projects now instead of waiting!
• Each night students should still be watching their math video and taking their quiz. Please partner with me in reminding your child to complete this at home each night!! Also, designate (at least) 15 minutes every night to Target Scores!!!
• Star of India permission slips went home today! Please look through the packet and send back with your child ASAP! Our trip is January 14-15. Want to chaperone? Let me know!! 🙂

Happy New Year!
