GREAT TO SEE ALL OF OUR PARENTS

Thank you so much for attending our parent teacher conferences last night. We enjoyed talking to all of you.

The project that we're doing in Science with Mrs. G.M. is called, The Changing Earth, and we are continuing our research. Soils assessments will be next week after some review.

We're having fun making triangles with compasses and measuring angles with protractors in Everyday Math. Ask your son or daughter about tessalations.

In Social Studies this week we read and talked about our candidates for governor. We also learned about the three major political parties. We then listened carefully to the speeches for student council representatives. Then on Tuesday, we voted. The 5th graders at SBES had a majority vote for Elliot Cutler.

We are now asking all of the fifth graders to read for 30 minutes each night!

Please remember that next week is a 3 day week for the kids. Verterans' Day is on Thursday and we have a teacher workshop day on Friday.
