WELCOME 2009!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Back!!!  I hope everyone had a great Holiday break!! 

 

I want to give a huge "shout out" to Ms. Ledbetter and Mrs. Sutley for planning and hosting a fabulous Holiday party!!  We had a blast!!  Each student was given a glass ornament and then collected signatures from all of their classmates.  I hope that it will always serve as a reminder of the fun they have had in 5th grade!  After lunch, we returned to the classroom and shared our gifts with each other.  Everyone took home an adorable snowman bag filled with really cool stuff!!  And of course there was great food and big smiles all around!!! It was a great finish to the first half of the school year!! 

The new year will be very exciting and full!!  Keep your calenders updated and a close eye on the Thursday Folders for important information and updates.  Here are a few dates and reminders as we get started:

• January 19th-  MLK Holiday   No School!!  Enjoy the long weekend!!

• January 26-30- Parent-Teacher Conferences :   Students dismissed early each day.  Please be sure your child knows how he/she is going home each day.
• Please return conference forms as soon as possible.  Thanks for your prompt attention to this!  I look forward to meeting with each of you and sharing information and data about your child's progress!

• Our class ALP day has changed to Tuesday of each week.  Please help your child adjust to this change in the weeks to come.
