Last Week!! June 12 - 16

It's hard to believe this is the last week of school. Most of the kids are saying how quickly it has gone by. I have to agree with them!

Items due: Please be sure that your child has turned in or payed for all library books. I will be collecting social studies books, calculators, and templates on Tuesday. Your child will need to turn these items in or pay for them.

Field trips: All field trips are on as planned. The weather looks a bit dicey on Wednesday but we'll see what happens. If we need to, we will make a plan for an activity to do at school that day. I will not be going with the students to Rolling Hills on Monday due to meetings that I have to attend. Other fifth grade teachers will be there though.

Promotion ceremony: The ceremony will be at 2pm on Thursday. I will be out part of the morning on Thursday. My own daughter has her promotion ceremony that day.





Just in case this happens to you, here are a few options around town...

Week 37 - June 5 - 9

We have several field trips coming next week. The forms went home on Monday and it would help us out a lot if they could be signed and returned right away.

Rolling Hills - Monday, June 12
Students will need:
- a sack lunch
- swimsuit, towel, sunscreen
- quarters for the lockers (if they choose to use them); remember that they need a quarter every time they open it and need to lock it again
- money for the snack bar if they want anything from this

Rolling Hills Water Park 


Dairy Queen - Tuesday, June 13
We will walk to Dairy Queen after lunch. Students should wear comfortable walking shoes and may bring sunscreen to apply before leaving. Students will be allowed to purchase one item. Although it can be tempting, I encourage the students not to get the largest items. As much as I love ice cream, walking back to school in the hot sun after eating a lot of ice cream does not always end well! Please let me know if you need assistance purchasing something for your child at DQ.

Buhr Pool - Wednesday, June 14
We will be walking to Buhr Pool. Students will need:
 - a sack lunch
- swimsuit, towel, sunscreen
- comfortable walking shoes, flip flops would not be appropriate
There are vending machines at Buhr Pool. Students can bring money to purchase items if they choose but they should not plan on this as a substitute for lunch.

Electronics morning - Thursday, June 15
Students may bring in electronics to play on Thursday morning after they have returned all items and cleaned their area. Students are responsible for anything that they bring in. Any games played must be school appropriate (no weapons, PG-13 or higher games, etc.).

Promotion ceremony - Thursday, June 15
The promotion ceremony will take place in the afternoon at 2pm. There will be a small reception in the gym afterwards. The ceremony will take place in the cafeteria and it gets very warm and crowded in there so be prepared! Many students will wear comfortable clothing in the morning and change into something nicer after lunch for the ceremony.

Please be sure your child has turned in all library books. All students were given a calculator, History Alive book, and template at the beginning of the year. These must be returned or paid for. We often find missing items when the room is cleaned at the end of the year.

Please check the lost and found by the office. There are many nice items there!
