No School – There is no school on Friday, February 3. Teachers will be analyzing data on this day.
Milestone #1 – The fifth grade students will not be participating in Milestone #1. The due date for the milestone is the Thursday after we return from camp. The fifth grade teachers have decided that we are not requiring students to turn in Milestone #1. That does not mean students should not be working towards their exhibition. Please encourage students to keep up the hard work and prepare for Milestone #2.
Camp – We will leave for camp on Monday, February 6th at 8:30. Please make sure students are at school on time. Students should meet in the gym with all of their things. We will return on Wednesday, February 8th between 2:00 and 2:30. All camp information should be turned in prior to us leaving on Monday.
New Semester – a new semester has begun. This should be thought of as a clean slate for everyone. Please encourage your child to put his/her best foot forward by doing their best in class, completing their homework, or studying for an assessment.

A Note Home
The MEAP is over! All of the students worked very hard to complete the MEAP to the best of their ability. I look forward to getting the results later in the year.
Exhibition Milestone – What a great success the first milestone was. I was amazed with everyone’s commitment to completing the milestone and their exhibition in a timely manner. The second exhibition milestone is due on: November 17th. This milestone should be ALL the information that your child is planning to present to the class in his/her own words. Please do NOT copy your information from the books or websites used.
Birthday Treats – I LOVE helping to celebrate your child’s birthday with them. That being said, it is important to give me notice before bringing in a treat for the class. If you could contact me at least a day before you plan on bringing a treat into class, that would be appreciated. We are working non-stop throughout the school day and if I can plan for such an event, it would make our day go a lot easier. It is also important that I am here during that time as well. It is not fair to a substitute teacher to have to accommodate such a change in the schedule.
Fall celebration – On Friday, we will be finishing our Red Ribbon Week with a Fall Celebration. Students will be able to bring their costumes to change into if they would like. Please, no goblins, ghosts, witches, masks, weapons, etc. (See Ms. Johnson’s Newsletter for specific information). If you would like to contribute something to the Fall Celebration, please let me know by filling in the form below.
Look for the calendar of events for Red Ribbon Week
No School – there is no school on Monday, October 24th. School resumes on Tuesday, October 25th.
Book Orders – Book orders are being sent home today. The due date for book orders will be November 11th. If you choose to order books online, you can do so. Simply use the code: FMQVL. If you pre-ordered your Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, it should be arriving on November 15th.
