Report cards - These went home last Monday. If you have not returned your envelope, please do so as soon as possible. I will need this for the end of the year report.
Math - Students will be starting Unit 6 in math. This unit covers measurement, and decimal multiplication and division. Please encourage your child to practice these concepts using Khan Academy or any other online program.
Food drive - We are in the midst of the Rotary Club Spring Canned Food Drive "Rotary Fights Summer Hunger!" It ends on Friday, March 24th, 2017. We need your help to FILL the boxes located near our main office. Please support our annual food drive. Food collected during this food drives help ensure that our children grow healthy and strong. The Rotary Club’s goal is to provide 75,000 meals throughout the summer. We need your help! Food collected is available through Food Gatherers’ network. Please contribute the following: tuna, canned meats, beans, chili, hearty soups and stews, canned fruit, baby food/formula, Ensure and other nutritional supplement drinks. To learn more about the Rotary Club, go online at www.annarborrotary.org. To learn more about Food Gathers, go to www.foodgatherers.org.
Snacks - I have had an unusual number of students requesting snacks from me daily. Your child is allowed to bring in a snack to eat in the morning or the afternoon. The students tend to be hungrier in the morning, it seems. If you would like to send in non-perishable snacks for the whole class I can keep these in my closet and have them available for students who need them.
M-STEP testing - This testing for the fifth grade will begin April 10 and goes until May 5. When I am certain of our schedule I will send it out to families.
