5th Grade News!
Wow, one week left before Christmas Vacation begins! We have a busy week with our Christmas Program practices, Christmas Party, and daily assignments.
This week’s memory schedule is as follows:
Thursday – 3rd Article (All)
We are working on spelling unit 16 this week. The pretest is Monday and the final test is on Friday.
We will be having our class Christmas party in the afternoon on Thursday. Please remember to send a lunch to school with your child. Notes will be sent home reminding you what you volunteered to bring for the party. Please have the treats ready (cut, popped, frosted, etc.) and at school by noon on Thursday! Thanks to all who have already offered assistance ~ we are planning on a fun-filled afternoon. : )
The Christmas party will be held Thursday afternoon! Students should bring their wrapped gifts to school by Thursday morning and place them under the tree. Remember to sign your name on the gift that is brought!
All students are involved in the Children’s Christmas Program on Saturday, December 20 at 5:30 and 7:00 PM. We will be having a joint practice on Saturday morning, Dec. 20, from 9:00-11:30 AM.
