I'm prouder than I can say of all our students' efforts during Exhibition.  I hope what you all clearly gained as learners carries over with your for the rest of your life! 

Additionally, I'm so grateful for all the parent support!  We had 96% turn-out for our class at the Presentation night last night, and I know it was a sacrifice for many of you to be there!  I just want to share the text of a 1st grade teacher's email regarding Exhibition yesterday:

"I wanted to let you all know how well exhibition went. My kids were so excited and wanted to spend more time with the 5th graders. I had a couple come back and tell me what they were going to do when they had to do it. I did laugh but it showed that your kids made an impact on the little ones. I know it was hard work for the kids."

On that happy note, enjoy your 4 day weekend, everyone!!

Homework:

1) Read 20 minutes & turn in signed reading log!

2) Missing work!!

3) Rec Center Permission slips if you haven't turned those in yet!
4) Some of you didn't finish your persuasive letter or individual Exhibition reflection today--please finish this weekend!
