Keep in Touch Over Break!

Thank you so very much for all who helped make our winter party a success! :)

Students and Parents- Please send a picture from your winter break to our Flickr page! This way, we can still "keep in touch" over break. Here are the steps:

1-Email the picture from either a mobile device or a computer to: met62marry@photos.flickr.com

2- The subject of your email should be your name and your description should be included in the body of the email along with your picture.

3- Go to our class Flickr page to see everyone's picture and captions. Don't forget to comment! 

Have a wonderful, relaxing, fun-filled, and safe holiday break! See you all in 2013!!!!

Note to Parents: Over break please ask your student if he/she is out of dry-erase markers, pencils, or other school supplies. Please help your child replenish any necessary materials for when they come back in January. Thank you!

-Mrs. Schaefer

Social Studies- We are finishing up our study on the New England Colonies. There will not be a test on this chapter.

Writing- We will finish up our letters about our personal narratives in class.

Adopt-a-Family- I am SO proud of our class! We brought in a total of 802 items! We were determined to make it to 800 items to earn our tent party and we DID IT! :) The "tent" or fort party will be on Thursday morning. Students can bring in blankets, pillows, and their favorite holiday books to read. They will be allowed to make tents using our chairs and their blankets and will get to read and share their books. Students are NOT allowed to bring in real tents.

Caroling- On Wed., 5th graders will be caroling at Delmar Gardens of Meramec Valley in Fenton at 10:00 a.m. and Friendship Village at 11:00 a.m.

• We will board buses at 9:15 a.m., leave at 9:30 a.m., and return to school by 12:00 noon.
• Students will wear their 5th grade t-shirts. I am keeping the shirts here in the classroom for them to change into Wed. morning.
• We will have a pizza lunch that day. Students should bring in a drink.

Winter Party- Our winter party will be this Thursday from 2-3. :)

No School Friday!

Wishing you and your family a wonderful winter break! Happy Holidays! :)

Student Blog Post from the awesome Emina Saric

The thing that mostly stuck with me was that Mrs.Goedde came back and that we did way better on our reading evaluate test this month than last month. Some quick reminders are is that word contract and cold read is due Friday and that our science test is TOMORROW!
