Happy Thursday! 

We greatly enjoyed our half day/DEAR day! Thanks to those who brought in snacks to share. I hope your child enjoys the long weekend. I'll be seeing many of you for a conference and look forward to talking with you all. 

We also had an awesome time on our first field trip! Thank you to the parents who were able to join us. 

There is one full week before we head into the shortened week before Thanksgiving break. This week we have an additional assembly, as we'll be joining the upper school on Wednesday to put together Operation Christmas Child boxes. We've also moved Library to Tuesday, due to a schedule change for Mrs. Iriana.

Happy Friday and happy last post of 6th grade!  Our last week of "real" school is done! The students have been working so incredibly hard and I am so proud of them. Thanks for all you've been doing at home, too!  The students have their Redwall projects due on Monday! They've been working on them all week in class. We will also be watching the Redwall movie and enjoying our feast as well! Monday afternoon the students will participate in a field day with 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. The kids should wear their team colors. For 6th grade, kids are either on the white team or the gray team. They know what team they are on!  Any students who didn't finish their geography projects in class are allowed to take them home and finish them over the weekend.  Tuesday we will begin cleaning and will also be having a party in the afternoon, the details of which I am not knowledgeable about :)  Wednesday we will finish cleaning and finish watching Redwall, as we close out our year
