5th Grade Honk Out We will hold our annual 5th grade clap out on June 1 @ 4:00. We are grateful that we will be able to celebrate our 5th graders, however it will look a little different this year. It is important that we continue to follow the governor's directive while giving our students a proper send off to the next stage of their educational career. Staff will be spread out 6 feet apart, wearing masks. Parents and/or guardians and students will drive through the parking lot and the bus circle while staff stand on the sidewalks waving. Please know we wish we could hug our 5th graders and wish them well, but at this time, we MUST have everyone stay in their vehicles. No walk ups will be permitted. We appreciate your understanding in this matter, but it is for the health and safety of everyone. ART Class Some of our students have been cooking up some art experiments at home! Students who finished all their art bingo cards had the option of making some DIY art supplies with their families. Air dry clay and liquid watercolors! Great job, students! Keep being creative!

5th Grade - Reading Challenge Mrs. O'Bryan started a reading choice board with her students to encourage them to keep reading each day. She is encouraging them to share pictures on Padlet and videos on Flipgrid to help them stay connected with each other while encouraging reading. Here is a copy of one of the Reading Choice Board.

One on One Reading Time Mrs. Frentsos started one on one guided reading sessions with students! These individualized meetings have gone great so far! Students are really engaged and Mrs. Frentsos is able to help students grow their reading skills.

On Earth day our kindergarteners helped take care of the earth. They read "I Can Save the Earth" by Alison Inches. Students made their own recycling bins and helped to pick up trash. Great job, kindergarteners! Mrs. Imwalle mailed home some special handwritten letters to her students. Thank you, Mrs. Imwalle.
