Parents,

  • I NEED DRIVERS!  We only have enough drivers for 15 students for our Whiskeytown Falls field trip.  Drivers do not need to make the hike If you are available please let me know ASAP!!! 
  • Big sale on hiking shoes at Big 5 this week (hint, hint).  Thanks for the info to Hannah's Grandma, Debbie Smith.

o     The school year is almost done and we still have a couple more things to get done.  Don’t forget to be working on State Reports.  They are due on Friday, May 21st.

o      While you are working on the State Report be sure to include some study time for memorizing the states and capitals.  We have our test on Wednesday.  Those students who do not pass will be able to retake the test until they receive a passing grade.  Study Hard!!!

o     Books!!! Please check to make sure that all of my books have been returned.  Any book with my name or belongs to the library needs to be brought back ASAP!

o     5th Grade KAD will be going to Water Works on Tuesday, June 1st. 

o     Please make sure you wear athletic shoes this week.  We will be doing physical fitness testing and appropriate footwear is required.  If any parent can help Mrs. Reuter, please contact me and I will let her know.

Remember: You can email me or send any writing homework to bv5th@yahoo.com
