Dear Fifth Graders,

     Good morning!  Today you will have Music, but not D.A.R.E.  We will switch for Math and Science classes like we do the rest of the week.  Also, I just want you to know that conferences were a week ago.  After looking at your report card and discussing it with your parents, I hope you have set some goals.  The midpoint of 2nd quarter is in two weeks.  Progress reports will go home the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.

   For Morning Work, check out your own Election Gazette (on your desk).  Also, drivers can log in to moodle and share how you spent Election Day.  Navigators can log in too, after drivers.

 

Make it a great day!
Mrs. Patton
