Announcements

Hi Fifth Graders and Parents,

Can you believe that the first quarter of school is already over?  I am 
excited to get to talk to you at Parent Teacher Conferences.  For those of 
you who cannot make it on the scheduled days, feel free to meet with me 
anytime.  You can call me at home or at school to set up a meeting.

We have been moving right along in academics.  Math is all about decimals 
right now, and any extra review at home would be great!  We just finished a 
chapter on plant diversity in Science, so we are ready for some animals 
next!  The Silk Road has been interesting for the kids, and they also enjoyed 
learning about the Vikings in Social Studies.  Any home discussion about 
school with your fifth grader would be a great way to know what they are 
working on, and it's also a great reveiw for your little one!

We are looking at a ski trip for grades 5 through 8 on the 17th. of 
December.  This is such a fun trip!  I would love it if everyone got to go.  
Mr. Nau is working out the details and we will have more information for you 
later in the month.
