CIVIL WAR ACTIVITY: We will be doing our annual Civil War Activity on Monday
or Tuesday afternoon on the final week of school. For this activity, we play
a series of capture the flag games and organize them according to the main
themes we have covered in our study of the Civil War. I share this with you
because I want you to know that we are careful to present this activity in a
way that helps solidify the concepts we have covered without making light of
this dark period in our country’s history.
FIFTH GRADE PARTY: The big extravaganza was a blast! A student of mine from
a few years back told me that the party was “the most fun I have ever had in
school.” Everybody I asked this year concurred.
FINAL CLASS AUCTION: We had our final class auction this week. Thanks so
much to all of you for your generous donations this year. The auctions were
a rousing success as a result.
FIFTH GRADE TRACK MEET: Our big track and field day went very well this
year. The kids were cooperative and had a blast. I wish I could have spent
more time in the stands with all of you, but with only fifteen fifth grade
classes in the district this year, each teacher was given more
responsibilities than usual.
