Mrs. Quesada's Class

Week 37

Announcements

Your 5th Graders have lots of projects to prepare for and complete the last two weeks of school! Make sure you are checking in with their progress!


Students will start presenting their states to the class on Monday. I am excited to hear all they have learned about their states! The State Fair, in conjunction with 4th Grade Wax Museum presentations,  will be open for parents and families to come and visit from 1:00-2:15 on Friday! Your child needs to wear something related to their state!

There are a couple days this week where the students need to/ can bring things to participate in the alphabet countdown. Please check below what they can bring! 


This week's alphabet countdown:

May 13- Q is for Quesadillas- We will enjoy quesadillas today!

May 14- R is for Reading- Bring a pillow, blanket, and your favorite book and get ready to spend some time reading today!

May 15- S is for Snow Cones- We will enjoy snow cones today.

May 16- T is for Tie Dye- Please bring a white T-shirt to school today so we can Tie Dye shirts this afternoon! (If any parents want to come help, around 1:30 today, we would  love to have you!) 

May  17- U is for USA- Dress in something related to your state! Be as silly as you would like! Today is our State Fair in the gym. Be ready to present your state!



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.

Matthew 13: 15b-16

Otherwise, they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.' 

But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.


(Jesus speaking about why he taught in parables.)
