Endangered Animal Presentations

I just wanted to share how wonderful the Endangered Animal presentations are that my Reading class students have prepared!  They have gone above and beyond my expectations for this project.  Students chose the app of their choice to present the information about their chosen animal.  I have seen a fantastic Prezi presentation, several Show Me ones, and a couple of Keynote presentations.  Several students will present on Monday.  "Wow!" is all I can say about their effort and creativeness! 

I am finding it hard to believe that we only have 5 school days left in 2013.  Where did this semester go?  This upcoming week is filled with an A.R. party, a dodge ball tournament, and a class party!  Merry Christmas to all!  Enjoy Winter Break! 

5th Grade Family Fun Night

Something to Crow About....   Fifth grade Family Fun Night is Wednesday, November 13th from 6-7 P.M.  Please join us!  Your student has a note with all the information! 

Fear the Beards!

The west wing decorated our hall last night.  The students are loving our Duck Dynasty theme!  They even helped make a huge beard using their hand prints today.  You'll have to check out the hall during parent/teacher conferences.  I've listed the A.R. due dates for the second 9 weeks:   Nov. 1   25%,     Nov. 15   50%,    Dec. 6     75%,    Dec. 20  100%   Thanks for all you do for the school and your children!

I've added directions (listed above) on how to get a Parent Account for A.R.  so you can track your child/children's reading goals.  It is very easy to set up! 

Please visit with Rhonda in the office about setting up a Parent Account for Power School.  Then you can check grades at any time.   This account will follow your child/children through high school.

Parents and Teachers Together

Would any parent/guardian like to represent 5th grade at the PTT? More parents are needed to make PTT even more successful.  Everyone is welcome to attend the meetings, but Mr. Leis would like at least one  parent to commit to attending on a regular basis.  The next meeting has not been scheduled yet.  Please contact me if you are interested.  THANK YOU!  Mrs. Hoover
