Hello Everyone,

     We hope that you all have had a great weekend. The 5th and 6th graders did a wonderful job last week welcoming Mrs. Rose back after break. They were excited to tell her about all of the things that they had done while she was at home with her baby.

     One of the fun things that both 5th and 6th grade did this past week was to do a "School Wide Writing Prompt".  That means that everyone in the school got a chance to take time to write about the same thing. The prompt was, "What can we do to improve our school?" The students came up with a wide range of ideas and some wrote for 2 or 3 pages. This was an enjoyable write for the students and a great read for all of the teachers. The teachers got a chance to use the writings as professional development, as well as thinking about how they can help their students possibly make some of their ideas come true.

     One of the other nice things happened at the end of last week. On Friday at community meeting the 6th graders were recognized by Mr. Foxall for receiving "Honors" or "High Honors" on their report card in the first Trimester of school. We have included some pictures of this below.

     For up coming events, the 5th grade will be on a field trip this Friday. They will be celebrating their reading of "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen and be out with the Rivendell Trails coordinator this Friday.

     Have a great week everyone!
     Sincerely,
The 5th and 6th Grade Team :)
