Week 5 Update

5th Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

As Week 5 draws to a close, I would like to point out that we are now one quarter of the way through the first semester. The students are starting to realize that as we become increasingly busy learning new skills, the weeks ahead will fly by. I would like to take this opportunity to ask you to keep checking in with your child about their progress and how they feel along with what they think about what is being learned and dealt with in class. I look forward to seeing yet another group work their way through the range of lessons, assignments, and projects that lie ahead.
