A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade
I love the Wax Museum project. The students always work so hard and seem to really enjoy learning about someone new. Next week we will do the final revisions to our informational books and begin writing our speeches. We talked a little bit today about the costume today. Your child will need his or her costume for the dress rehearsal at school that day as well as that evening.
Valentine’s Day is Tuesday, February 14th from 2:45 to 3:30. In fifth grade we keep parties simple. We’ll have a competition for the heartiest, sportiest, and the most unique Valentine's Day Box. The kids will distribute and read their Valentines. I’ll also pick up some juice boxes and cookies for the kids. If we have time, we’ll play a few games.
You should have received a blank envelope in your child’s Friday Folder last week. As a special treat for your child, I would like you to send a personal Valentine message to your child for him or her to open with his or her other Valentines that day. To keep this a surprise, please return your note to school in this envelope on or before Friday, February 3rd, and I will put the note in your child’s Valentine box right before the party.
