We have another field trip coming up! On May 7, we will be going to the San Joaquin Fish Hatchery. We will leave school at 8:50 am and arrive back to school around 1 pm. We would like to be able to utilize parent drivers for this trip. Please contact Miss Bok if you would like to drive!
Information for our bowling alley field trip was sent home with your student. We willl leave school on Monday at 8:45 from the event parking. If you would like to join us at the bowling ally at 9! Please make sure if you are one of our parent drivers, that you fill out the appropriate paperwork in the office! Lunch will be provided for fifth graders that day!
This week's alphabet countdown:

There are many things that we need to make this Alphabet Countdown a success. If you would like to help by providing any of the materials that we need, we have an Amazon Wishlist link here.
( If any parent would like to help with Tie Dye day (May 16), please reach out to Miss Bok! We will need parent volunteers to make this one run smoothly. :) )
Permission slips for the CVC 4th-6th grade track meet need to be turned in by April 24 if your child would like to participate!
The test on all 50 states, capitals, and abbreviations will be on 4/26. This will consist of 3 separate tests.
Labeling all 50 states on a map
Matching all 50 states to Capitals
Writing abbreviations for all 50 states
If a student does not pass with at least an 80% on any of these tests, that student will use their recess time for 3 days to study for the retake of that test. This will continue until all 3 tests are passed with an 80% or higher.
The Spring Concert is this week Thursday, April 25 at 1:30 pm. You are welcome to come and see your 5th graders perform! Have them continue to read over their music for these three songs.

Matthew 6: 19-26, 31-33
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 22 The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. 25 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
