A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade

We’ve finished our Wax Museum papers and just need to do some additional editing and add

a few images then we’ll print them out. Our next step is to write and practice our speeches.

Each year the students plead with me to let them use notecards and a reassure them that, yes,

they can recite their speech without any notes. They always do great. I love this part the most

as I often see students begin to grow in their self confidence.


Here is a note from Mrs. Nimlo regarding the Science fair.

Valentine’s Day is Wednesday, February 14th. Before our class Valentine’s Day party (2:45 to 3:30),

we will have visitors from Kinard and Preston (1:30 to 2:30) here to talk about registering for classes

in sixth grade. 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 a treat for the students to enjoy. If we have time, we’ll play a few games.

Thank you to everyone who gave me their valentine for their student. If you haven’t, please do so as soon as possible. I want every child to have a valentine from their parents.

You can find all the newsletters for the year and other fun pictures including a video of Natalie’s
