Dear Fifth Grade Families,
We would like to welcome Daniel Davies to our classroom. Daniel has come from London. We are looking forward to learning from him as he learns from us!
As we have all year, our math class is participating in the enrichment projects of the math series. Today we began Project 5. The students were each given a million dollar budget. They will be applying the skills learned thus far in this project, including decimals, percents, and pie charts. The project can be worked on at home by the student (or group) and is due next Friday. Their enthusiasm today was palpable! We have some future entrepeneurs to be sure!
Monday we will have our valentine celebration from 2:30-3:00 in the afternoon. Thanks to the following families for supplying paper goods and treats: the Joyce family, the Larsen family, the Crivello family, the Olander family, and the Davies family. All students are welcome to bring in valentines for their classmates. It is nice to enjoy this elementary tradition one last time before they head to middle school.
Speaking of middle school...I will be meeting next Thursday with the middle school guidance counselors to start the conversation of placement for your child. If you have any needs or concerns that we haven't already discussed, please feel free to email or call. We have many more opportunities for sharing as well.
Next week we are also looking forward to the chorus concert on Wednesday. The Swanson Super Singers are sure to put on a great show! On Friday, we have our fieldtrip to Skateland as well. Again, the video games will be unplugged, but the students are welcome to bring some money along for snacks and drinks. I will post videos and photos on the website (www.ourfifthgradestory.blogspot.com) What a fun and busy week ahead!
Don't forget to save the date! We will be having our forensic performance on Friday, February 25th at 2:00 in the Multi-purpose room. We will be starting promptly at 2:00. Chairs will be set up for parents. Our greeters will be there to seat you starting at 1:45. We look forward to performing for you!
One last reminder...Fifth grade bake sale on Tuesday during voting here at Swanson!
Thanks so much!
Cindy
