Canyon Vista Fine Arts Program:
We will be going to the RRISD Performing Arts Center on Tuesday to hear about the various elective choices the students will have next year.  We will be eating a late lunch - at about 1:00, so please send a snack that your child can eat during the morning.

Wednesday is an Early Release Day - students are dismissed at 12:45.

Friday is our Valentine's Party Day.
If your child wishes to bring Valentine's cards and/or treats to share with our class, we will have time to do so after lunch.  He/she will only have to bring enough for our homeroom, not the entire 5th grade.  The 5th grade party will start at 1:45 in the cafeteria.


Science Fair Update
Wow! Everyone had fabulous projects and we all learned new things from each other!  Our own Kriti will be representing Spicewood at the Austin Energy Regional Science Festival on February 27!  Congratulations, Kriti!

GRADES
All grades are up to date on Home Access Center.  Please look over your child's grades and let me know if you have any questions.

5th Grade PYP Exhibition
We are starting our research and meeting with Mentor teachers who will help the students with their projects.  Please be sure to ask your child what he/she is learning about.
