Holiday Break

Don't forget the last day of school for 2012 is this Friday, December 21st!  Students will return to school on January 2nd, 2013.  Have a wonderful holiday and a happy New Year!

Science Assessment

We will have a science assessment on Friday!  Students have weather vocabulary words and their science journals that they should study this week in preparation for their assessment.

Hurricanes Reading Logs

Hurricanes Reading Logs are due on Monday!  I will complete their "scorecard" and submit their reading information to the Carolian Hurricanes.  Please make sure your child brings their reading log on MONDAY.  Thanks!

We Need Your Help!

Our class will be celebrating the holidays on Thursday, December 20th.  The fifth grade teachers have an extended lunch from 12:30-2:30, then a celebration from 2:30-3:30.  If you would like to volunteer during this time, or donate items, please contact Carla Popson at carla.popson@gmail.com. 

Thank you!

Parent Power Night

Hope you can join us for Parent Power Night!  We will begin at 5:30 this evening with an introductory session. Afterwards, parents may move between math, literacy, and technology stations.  At each station parents will "make and take" different materials to help their child be successful.  We want parents to have the tools necessary to help their children with homework!  Translators will be available for Spanish speaking parents.  Childcare will be provided in the gym.    

Donations for the Girls on the Run Service Project

The Girls on the Run program is currently taking donations of DRY dog and cat food for the SPCA.  Through the program, the girls plan and organize a community service project.  Our girls chose to help the homeless animals in Wake County.  Thanks for your help!

These are my sweet animals from the animal shelter!
