Dear Parents and Students:
We are nearing Winter Vacation and
the students are learning so much. We are continuing to learn about Mount St.
Helens in science, design our new invention ideas for advertisements in LA (Speaking
and Writing), and learn about current events and note taking with CNN Student
News. We are studying a unit on folktales and fairy tales as well as legends in
reading.
We want to keep the learning going
throughout the Winter Break. The students have been given IXL accounts that you
can have your child working on at home on handheld devices or on computers. The
students will also be working on these fifth grade skills in school. Please encourage
your child to keep working in fifth grade objectives until they are passed then
have your child move into sixth grade skills.
As we approach the end of 2013 we are
trying to help Student Council collect canned goods for our friends at Lincoln that
may need an extra source of food this vacation. Please send any of these items
to school so that we can help our friends. If you are a family in need our counselor
or Mrs. Glade can take your name and call you after Monday, Dec. 16th
when Student Council will have the items ready to pick up.
We need clean white socks, 1 per
student, before Friday, Dec. 13 for a craft project. If you have spare socks
with designs that are clean, we could use them as well. If your washer eats
socks like ours does; then you may have a bag of mixed up socks handy for us to
use. If you would like to donate them to our class; that would be greatly
appreciated.
Thank you once again.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Gracie Johnston
