With winter face approaching, many activities are upcoming. Our St. Jude Math-A-Thon will shortly begin. Written material explaining the program will be sent home with the class over winter break. Also over break, grade 5 will be responsible to have all their play lines learned. The class is doing a wonderful job, and I am confident they will be outstanding on May 16. Groundhog houses have been a fifth grade tradition for many years. The children will design them by the end of January and bring them to class for all the grades to view. I know how creative my students are from past projects and we all look forward to this one.
