JANUARY

Dear 5th Grade Families,

January was such a great month. We celebrated international holidays, such as Rubber Ducky Day and Strawberry Ice Cream Day. We had several dress up days and there was constantly events that we were looking forward to like our Expository Writing Presentations and even our trip to CSI to watch Arts on Tour. Let’s have a great February!
