Tuesday - We have wrapped up the novel, The Watson's Go To Birmingham-1963 and we will watch the movie on Wednesday and the kids will compare and contrast the two versions.
**The movie is rated PG, so send me an email if you do not want
your child to view the movie and I will provide an alternate
activity for him or her. I have previewed the movie, but wanted
you to be aware of the rating.**
The kids will participate in the "Greek Olympics" on Wednesday afternoon as we complete our study of ancient Greece. The 5th graders are joining the 6th graders for this Olympic event.
Orchestra Concert - Thursday at 10:20 in the gym.
Friday is Field Day and the kids should have tennis shoes at school for this event. It is our normal P.E. day, so this is generally not a problem . . but I just wanted to remind the kids.
Looking Ahead - 6th Grade parents . . . mark your calendars for the 6th grade awards and slide show on Friday June 6th from 10:30 to about 11:30 in the Library. We will take the kids back to the room after the program to prepare for our final "Graduation" walk up the intermediate hall. Bring your cameras and tissues. This is our normal Health/P.E. time, so 5th graders will be with Mrs. Reas.
5th - More words from other languages
