2 WEEK CRAM

First, I want to thank our wonderful families for supporting a successful Read a Thon.  Not only did we enjoy our guest readers, a day of relaxed reading, and completing some reading challenges, we also raised over 7,000 dollars as a school.  Our class even gets a reward for raising money!  Thank you so much.  We know the lasting effects of these dollars; they turn into great experience for our students.

Speaking of great experiences, I also want to thank those families that made it to the 5th grade End of Year Planning meeting.  We have committees of parents who have agreed to help plan for special events like the Hannibal and Civil War Day field trips, graduation, 5th grade field day, and more.  Please look for information about these events in the coming weeks.  And feel free to sign up and join any event we have this Spring.

Below is a weekly outline for this week and some photos of Read a Thon and Ecodioramas.
