Hello Everyone!
I hope everyone had a great weekend! I hope everyone has a wonderful Holy Week!
If you have an extra Palm from mass yesterday and you would like to send it in to class tomorrow. If not that is okay, I managed to pick up a few extras at mass yesterday. I will teach the students one way to weave their palms. (I learned this from my 8th Grade teacher Sr. Marita Ann.)
May's Book Report is going to be on a Fantasy! Details will come home after Easter Break!
We will be visiting Pamplin Park for our big field trip this year! Details were sent home today, with your child. The cost for students is $26 this includes the Park as well as the chartered bus.
I hope you all enjoy your Easter Break!
Here are a few highlights of what is happening this week in Fifth Grade...
