Week 4 Update

5th Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

We’re three full weeks into the new school year and the students have really begun to impress me. I remain quite impressed with the organizational skills shown by all of the students and many of them are beginning to show that they understand the importance of study skills that we have been learning in Science and Social Studies. They will need these in the upcoming weeks as we write a number of tests and complete some assignments in preparation for the first quarter reports that will be sent home next month.

Please note that tomorrow, September 13th is a Mid-Autumn Festival Holiday.
