This week, our class has done a lot of reflecting over our year. And I loved reading this poster of lessons they have learned this year.

Tomorrow we are headed to Heritage Park at 12:15 to eat lunch and hang out at the park! In order to attend this field trip, please bring back the permission slip signed tomorrow! 

If the permission slip didn’t make it home, you can print one below. THANK YOU!

What a FUN day we had!

Here is a glimpse into our Robotics workshop! Everything was awesome!

(Chaperones, send me any pictures you took throughout the day!)

We have arrived to the last week of 5th grade! This week is still going on as originally planned! 

TOMORROW IS LEGOLAND! Students must wear their normal OTA uniforms and bring a sack lunch for tomorrow! I still am missing permission slips from a few students- (you cannot attend tomorrow if I do not have the permission slip!). We will leave campus around 9 and be back right before dismissal.

THURSDAY- June 11th- is Lunch & Kickball at the park! 4th and 5th grade will walk to Heritage Park to eat lunch, play kickball, and enjoy other activities at the park for the afternoon. Parents are welcome to walk with us to the park or meet us there for our picnic and games.

FRIDAY- June 12th- Half Day! Dismissal is at 12pm!

I’m excited to spend the last week with all my soon-to-be 6th graders! What a great year it has been! This week 5th grade is choosing to focus on the GREAT things we have done this year and the AMAZING strides each student has made in the past 9 months. 

5th grade brought their bright colors today for an awesome Field Day!! Our futures sure are BRIGHT! 

As the year draws to a close, we are frantically working on last minute projects here in 5th grade! It is a busy week. A couple reminders and announcements:

This Week:

• This week we are wrapping up the quarter with a few projects– The Gettysburg Address, a math test, the Civil War exam, the Civil War essay, and the Frederick Douglas Final Project. 
• We are also having some time to make-up other assignments throughout the week
• I have extended the due date of all Quarter 4 work to Monday, June 7th. We will have time to continue working on assignments and optional projects on Monday. 
• This Friday, (6/5) our class has decide to use a FREE DRESS day. They earned this day during from the jog-a-thon and have saved it all year!

Next week (aka the Last week of school!):

• Monday– more Q4 work time and Field Day
• Tuesday– LEGOLAND Fieldtrip! Permission slips were sent home yesterday! Please return the permission slip signed and the $16 dollars to cover the cost of the trip to me this week! Also, parent volunteer/chaperones are needed for this trip! I have a limited number of parents that we can bring into the park. If you would like to volunteer, please let me know ASAP. 
• Thursday– Kickball & Lunch at Heritage park with 4th grade!
• Friday– Last Day of School and its a HALF DAY! 12pm dismissal.

Hey 5th Grade!

As our Week 9, Make-Up week approaches us… just wanted to mention a few reminders:

• I will be staying after school Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday until 4:15. All are welcome to stay to have extra work time. At 4:15, we will walk downstairs to the lobby. Please be on time to pick up your child!
• This next week is the last chance to pass the States and Capitals! Study! Study! Study!
• I will meet with students on Monday to discuss any missing assignments. But for the weekend, their project trees should be highlighted and should offer any assistance in discovering what is missing! Optional Projects are a great idea to work on tonight as well. 
• Next Friday, June 5th will be a Free Dress Day! 

Thanks! 

Mrs. Cook
