Hello 5D Families!
Thank you to all of you for coming in and taking time to talk about your child. I appreciate all the support you've given all throughout the year. I have a feeling that these next two months are going to fly!
Next Thursday, April 20th at 2 pm, the fifth graders will sing some songs they've learned with Jeff Warner in the Library. Please come and join us!
Next Wednesday and Thursday the students will present their Ted Talks. Ten students will go each day. These will start at 10:15 and only run until about 11:15. IF YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE FOR A DAY, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP!
SAVE THE DATE! Thursday, May 25th is our Boston Field Trip! More information will be coming home after vacation. I'll be able to take two parents on the bus and those parents will definitely be able to go to the Boston Tea Party Museum.
Here's what we've been working on this week.
