Week of February 17-21

Happy Friday, 5DL Families!

We had a busy week. Kids have been working hard in their Colony Families researching the history of their colony to become experts for all the other colonies.

As a team we have talked to the fifth graders about expectations in every part of our school day. The students have brainstormed a list of expectations and we talked a lot about respect for yourself, others as well as materials. The students have begun to write all about what respect is, why it is important and how we can show it. This writing will continue after vacation.

This is a work in progress and any support/discussions at home would be greatly appreciated. We want to help set our students up for success in life. Respect is a huge part of this.

We hope you have a wonderful February break! See you March 2nd!
