"The more you know about the past, the better prepared you are for the future."
- Theodore Roosevelt Welcome back! I hope you are all well rested and refreshed from time with your family. As communicated before the break, students will be working in class during this week of half days on their fifth grade project. Each student has been assigned a historical figure that they will study and prepare a three paragraph summary on, as well as a short speech to present during a Project Week Exposition, on Wednesday, January 11th, from 6-7PM. All scholars will be provided a printed copy of information from which they can prepare their summaries, and detailed instructions to complete this process. Ample class time will be given for students to work on the written aspect of this project, although some students may need to bring home small amounts of unfinished work to complete at times throughout the week. Please support your scholar at home as they think of ideas and collect materials to dress up as their historical figure for the Project Week Exposition. Please remember that lunch is not served this week, but a snack break will occur around 10:15 if you wish to send a snack in with your child. Dismissal begins at noon. We will begin reading Little Women on January 9th. Most students have confirmed that they have this book in their locker, but for those who are keeping books at home please remind your child to bring it to school.
