Pictures and News from Day One and a Note from Hop

Dear Parents,

We had a busy first day in 5th grade. Students began the day with a general overview of the classroom and some expectations. We played a few games designed to draw the class together with a focus on listening and fun. Ask your child about Speed Rabbit. We read the first chapter of Jean Craighead George's book My Side of the Mountain and took the first steps into a science building project. We played a multiplication factors and product game and started working in our math journals. The rain kept us indoors more than I would have liked but the day was punctuated with an outdoor game of Clay Pictionary.

Paul Hopkins (7th grade homeroom teacher) sent out this reminder.

Hello,

Quick reminder: Laurie Penfield (8th grade teacher) and the eighth graders will start selling pizza tomorrow (Wednesday). The price is $2 per slice. The money goes to the yearlong fundraising efforts for the eighth grade.

Thanks,

Hop
