Grade 5,

As part of our Current Events Project, I am asking you to focus on events that highlight Character Development.
Here are three "Good News" sites that report on events that highlight Character. I have also added the Organizer to your Google Drive Language Folder. *Please remember to fill out the Organizer electronically.

Entrepreneurial Adventure Program Update

Tomorrow morning our class and Miss. Beardsley's class will be presenting the different charities that we came up with that we would like to support as part of the Entrepreneurial Adventure Program that we are doing. Students have had sufficient class time to complete the research and were also permitted to work on it from home (if they wish). 

Today I reminded the class that these presentations are to be short and that they are not to be stressful. We are simply trying to share information about various charities before we vote for the charity that we will be supporting through this project.

*I am also still missing a few of the permission forms. If you child has not returned it yet, please ensure you do so ASAP.

Scholastic

January Scholastic order forms went home today and are due Monday, January 18. Reminder that all students were given a voucher that can be used towards a free book :) The voucher covers a book that is $4.99 or less. If your child would like to order a book that is more than $4.99 then you simply subtract $4.99 from the total cost.
