CAC PV 5th Grade

Weekly Memo (February 24-28)


Book Fair Week
I love Book Fair week, but not just because I love to see kids get excited about reading. I love it even more that our class helps other kids get excited about reading. It's going to be a big week for the 5th grade this week, and I can't wait to watch them step up, lead well, and encourage younger kids. It's going to be a good (and crazy) week!

What We’re Learning This Week (if all goes as planned)
I’ll mark each thing we get finished, and you can check back each day to see what we were able to get accomplished (and what we didn’t quite make it to).
