Hello Classmates,

Welcome to school today!  Please come in, wash your hands and order your lunch.  On your desk you will find a letter from a 5th grader.  Isn't it cool that the fifth graders wrote to us?  Please read the letter to learn more about how the middle school is the same and different from Elma Primary.  We will write back later today.

Once you have read the letter, please steal a few minutes to read.  We will leave for Phys. Ed. shortly.

I hope you are looking forward to some physical labor.  I think this day is special because you get to see why P.E. is so important....it prepares you to do hard work with your healthy body!  Thank you in advance for working hard and taking pride in our school.

After you order your lunch and wash your hands, please tidy up your desk.  Next, you should complete pages 14 and 15 in your handwriting book.  Remember to trace the examples first so your hand knows how to make the letters.  Finally, please practice this week's poem with a partner.

Hello Super Students,

I hope you are well today.  I am a little sad as we have to say good bye to Miss Hanrahan.  I have really enjoyed having her in our class.  Please take a minute today to let Miss Hanrahan know that she will be missed.

Please wash your hands and order your lunch.  Next, you should update your reading status.  Once that is done, I'd like you to get your iPad and take a picture of something that Miss Hanrahan has taught you.  Please try to be specific.  If it is easier to find a picture on google that represent your learning, you can do that as well.  You will share these pictures at morning meeting.

Once you have a picture, please try your hand at Coop Fractions.  Now that you understand decimals, you might be even better at this game.

Hello Historians,

I am excited to see your work today related to the Revolutionary war.  It is time to start our last writing project of the year.  You will be the author of a chapter book before the end of June!  I can't wait to see what you create.

Please read the new poem and wash your hands.  You should also order your lunch. Once that  is all done, i'd like you to read the new poem again.  What connections do you have with this poem.  What do you know about it?  What does it make you think of?

We will discuss this later this week.  It might be something you choose to add to your book.
