Dear Fifth Graders,

     Good morning!  If you are reading this at school, then we didn’t get hit with as much snow and sleet as expected.  In that case, I’m glad we’re all here and can get back to work on things like your Everest Quest project and more.  J  If you are at home and reading this, then we had too much snow and ice, and I thank you for being curious enough on this SNOW DAY to check out the Daily Plans.  :-D

     If at school, then please read the Daily Plans for today and get right to work.  You can play the brainteaser game for a few minutes, and then you and your partner should get to work on your Everest Quest assignment.  We will fill out planners around 9:15.

 

Make it a great day!

Mrs. Patton
