Week 15 Update

5^th Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

We’ve reached the end of 2016 as far as the school calendar is concerned. It appears that whoever said time flies when you are having fun was absolutely right. This has been a most enjoyable start to the year and it is really hard to believe that by the time we gather together again in the classroom, just a little more than half of the current school year will remain. The second semester is a busy but exciting one, so I am sure we will continue to enjoy each new learning opportunity when it begins shortly after our return next month.
