The fifth grade class has been working on writing stories during the last few weeks. We are now ready to publish our stories. Children will be creating e-books during the next two weeks in completion of this project. Each student will email a copy of his/her ebook to his/her parent at the end of the project. If time allows, students will also record their stories by reading them into a storybook-creating website. Please let me know if you have any concerns regarding your child making an audible recording online.
We are rapidly approaching the end of D.A.R.E sessions with officer Loranjo.The D.A.R.E graduation will be on June 1stfrom 2:00-2:45PM in the Fireside Room. Also, the children should have brought home a D.A.R.E. invitation for you. In case you have not seen it, please knowall parents are invited to attend this ceremony.Children are expected to write a D.A.R.E essay to reflect what they have learned during the past ten weeks. More information on this assignment is on my website.
This is a reminder that all 5thgraders need to be at school on Thursday at 7:20 a.m. so we can get to Roaring Camp on time. It probably will be cloudy in the morning, so please make sure your children dress in layers even though it is a free dress field trip. This field trip is all outside and it will go on rain or shine. All who are going will appreciate prayers for a dry and warm day, but just in case remember your child should dress in layers. This field trip concludes with a train ride through the redwood trees which can be a little chilly. Also remember that all children need to bring a sack lunch on Thursday as well. There will not be an opportunity to purchase food.
