12/16-12/17 Fifth Grade Highlights

Dear Fifth Grade Families,

I hope this message finds you well as we enter this festive season. I want to take a moment to congratulate our fifth-grade students for their outstanding performance in last Friday’s Christmas show. They truly shone on stage, and I am so proud of their hard work, enthusiasm, and teamwork. Thank you for your support in helping them prepare for this memorable event. Wishing you a joyful and blessed holiday season!

Here’s a look at what’s coming up for the week of Dec. 16 -Dec. 17. Please make sure to read all the important information below to avoid any questions that may already be addressed. If you missed last week’s email, you can find updates on my school blog: /news/12-9-12-13-fifth-grade-weekly-highlights.

Deadlines:

• January 15: 50 states board project

We’re excited to kick off our 50 States Poster Project! Each student will create a poster board about their chosen state, showcasing its unique details and fun facts. This project is a chance for students to explore their state creatively while learning geography, history, and culture. This can be done at home and are expected to be completed and turned in on/before January 15. Kindly check Google Classroom or attached file for further information.

Note: Please purchase the “trifold or presentation board” in Dollar Stores ONLY. I would like for their presentation boards to be uniform. If you are having difficulty in purchasing or finding one please let me know.
