What's new in 5th grade?

We will be tie-dying t-shirts for track and field day next week. Students are asked to bring a plain white t-shirt to tie-dye. I am happy to announce the school store will be offering t-shirts for $2 each in two sizes: youth large and youth extra-large. Please send shirts to school by Monday, April 25. Donations of rubber bands and gallon sized ziplock bags would also be greatly appreciated.

Mr. Young's homeroom chose the color yellow, and Mrs. Johnson's homeroom chose blue. All shirts will be both colors to represent the learning community that we have created. I will be purchasing the dye, and students will be rubber banding and dying shirts at school.

In math we are wrapping up unit 8, which is mostly about mixed numbers. We are also concluding our unit on food and nutrition in science. This week students are working on creating public service announcements to educate others about nutrition and fitness.

Reminder, there is NO SCHOOL on FRIDAY, APRIL 22nd. If your family celebrates Easter I wish you a joyous time with your family.

Have a great week!
Mrs. J.
