Thursday, January 30

STEM night is tonight!  Your child should come home with a paper indicating what two sessions you'll be attending.  I look forward to seeing many of you tonight!

January bookmarks are due tomorrow! Please be sure to bring it in so you can get the chocolate chip bookmark and maybe win a prize! February bookmarks will be in Friday folders.

Don't forget the Six Flags Read to Succeed reading log is due by February 9th in order to earn a free Six Flags Ticket.

In-School Field Trip: High Touch High Tech will be here for our class on Tuesday morning, February 3. This in-school field trip has been fully paid for by our wonderful PTA and parent donations during our fundraiser. Our session is called Cell-ebrate. The children will investigate the differences between plant and animal cells using microslide viewers and microscopes. They will extract banana DNA and will learn how their inherited traits help to make them who they are today! This will serve as an excellent review of previously learned science skills!

  • Coordinate Grid Name Project - due Monday, February 2 (extra grid paper is attached below). If you have trouble accessing the file below, please go to the student portal, on 2015s2 Morand.KFifthGradeCore. You'll find a link for the paper under the News.
