On Monday, we will continue our Wealthy Elementary tradition of our Silent March around the block (down Wealthy, then Lovett, and then back to school on Lake) to show our unity and commitment to collaboration and respect toward others. Please make sure your 5th grader dresses appropriately for a walk (could be really cold!) as we will be leaving almost immediately after attendance has been taken in the morning. We will have specials in the afternoon on Monday.
I forgot to send home class pictures today! They will be sent home on Monday. Please look for them then.
Looking ahead...
There is no school on Friday, Jan. 28th, due to records day. You will receive an email at the end of the following week with a link to your child's report card via Skyward.
We are excited to have Laura Purdie Salas, our visiting poet, Feb. 8-11th. We will have an all-5th grade session with her and then have personal classroom time developing our poetry and learning new ways to creatively write. Due to her visit, our Valentine's Day party is postponed until Feb. 16th, in the afternoon.
There is no school on Friday, Feb. 12th, or Monday, Feb. 15th, due to winter break. ENJOY :)!
M-STEP testing will begin after Spring Break. The fifth grade will be taking three tests: Language Arts (2 days), Math (2 days) and Social Studies (1 day). Each one of these subject areas will be a separate week. If you can, please try to refrain from making any appointments during the MORNING times during the weeks of April 11th, April 18th and April 25th. Thank you in advance for this!
Coming soon...we are looking forward to many exciting field trips that will occur in the spring. Please look for a letter coming home soon that lets you know about the dates/trips as well as the costs for the trips. We'd like to give the opportunity to pay for these in advance before the spring rush hits!
