4th/5th Grade Newsletter
Dear Families,
Sorry for any confusion about paying for the field trip. You can pay with cash, check, School Pay, or you're welcome to Venmo me: @Trevor-Parker-29. We are all set with chaperones. Thank you!
Today, I sent home a forecasting worksheet for 5th graders. Counselors from Ockley Green will be here next week to help students choose elective classes. However, I know that some parents like to have input over their students' choices. Please take a look at the worksheet with your student so that you are in agreement about their elective choices. Feel free to email me if you have any questions. This form is due next Thursday, March 19. I also sent home a permission slip for our visit to Ockley which will happen in May.
You might have heard that the rain prevented us from walking to Kenton Library this week. Today, we were celebrating earning ten class Panther Paws by walking to Mike's Drive-in for ice cream. When we got there, Mike's was out of ice cream! The kids handled the disappointment very well. And, I assured them that we will try again next week. Out of ice cream?!
We are starting the second half of our Language Arts unit on the Civil War by reading The River Between Us. We just rotated back for our third social studies rotations. We will be learning about the American Revolution. Math is dependent on grade level. Fifth graders are learning to divide and multiply by decimals. Fourth graders are adding and subtracting with fractions.
It continues to be a pleasure to work with this great group of kids.
Thanks for entrusting your child to me,
Trevor
