Big Changes Coming in 5th Grade Land...

5B,

I've got HUGE news for you and your families coming soon.  I can't tell you the details yet, but you'll find out within the next week or so.  I'm excited and nervous for this big change.  There are all sorts of details I'd love to share with you, but because the teachers don't have everything completely figured out yet, we don't want to share anything.   But it will for sure make your jaws drop!!!  So stay tuned for upcoming news!!!!!!  Did I grab your attention????  Now, that's a good introduction, eh?!

Onto another topic...  I just got done seeing the high school's musical performance starring our very own 5B student, Trista!  What a great job!  I even cried because I was so proud of her!  So glad to see students doing what makes them happy!  Yeh!  Maybe if we sweet-talk her a little, she'll give us our own special mini performance :)  Or not....

Another MAJOR announcement to remind your parents about is MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14 (that's tomorrow!) is the fundraiser pick-up day!  A note will be coming home with you tomorrow after school, but I thought it would help to tell parents tonight.  It goes from 3 pm to 6 pm.  You'll need to have your pink sales sheets to give your items to your customers!  Remember to thank them so much for their help! We couldn't take field trips, have breadsticks, go to plays or a Big Blast without their help!  Be sure they get a huge thanks from you!

Last of all, we made a pinky swear last Friday that we would make time for Swear to Howdy on Monday. So, I'll know you checked the blog this weekend if you remind me in the morning with these words "Don't forget our pinky swear about Swear to Howdy."  We'll do attendance and get jobs done and get comfy on the floor.  Senorita Rachel and I are trying to find a different time to do our Spanish Skype lessons.

One more thing... Don't forget you're mentoring again this week.  We have an early out, so the Wednesday people will not get to see their mentees unless they go chat with their mentees' teacher and work out another day this week.  Sounds like everyone who chose to mentor had a great first visit!

See you soon,
Mrs. Sorenson
