Week 30 Update

5^th Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

Welcome back! I hope that you had a pleasant Spring Break. With the vacation over and the first week back at an end, we’re already halfway through month of April. This month brings with it our Grade 5 Heroes Week, which involves speeches about each of our heroes each day of the week. It also involves Write Now activities involving ideas about people who inspire us. In addition to this, Tuesday brings with it an Art lesson about photorealism during which the students will draw a picture of their hero in such that way that it looks like a black and white photograph.
