Poetry Slam = SUCCESS!

5B,
I'm so proud of ALL of you!  Your poems were fantastic, and your courage and bravery were top-notch!  Such a great job, and I'm so glad so many families were able to be a part of it!  My phone is having some issues, so I'll be getting the pictures and videos shared, but right now, they are in the process of uploading..... I've been trying this weekend.  However, I will put them on our 5B at Crestwood Elementary Facebook Page, so be sure to have your families look there!

Last Friday started the CRAZY SCHEDULE for the next 2 weeks (or more!)... So, we'll just go day by day this week!

TOMORROW!
FAST Testing right away in the morning - This is the one you take on a laptop with headphones.  This is something we all need to take seriously and do our best on.  This helps us know how to finish this year and what your NEXT year's teachers should know about you as a reader!  So, this is saying a lot about you as a thinker and reader!

We will start RIGHT away... like ATTENDANCE, PLEDGE and TEST!  The sooner we test, the better the testing system works!  Also, we have a fun-filled STEM Day planned for all of 5th grade, so we want to get the testing done with, so we can focus on STEM activities!
If you want to bring yourself a little dry snack for the morning, you are welcome to.  It will be a completely OFF SCHEDULE day, so we will go through that in the morning!

Also... there's a possibility I will be gone Tuesday (tomorrow).  Isaiah has been sick, and I may need to be home with him :(  I'm not sure yet, so if I'm gone, there may be even MORE changes in schedules! Please be helpful, respectful and patient if this is the case!

HUGE REMINDER #1!

Box Tops and Milk Moola caps are still be collected until May 13!  Apparently, 5B has let the rest of the school get ahead!  Check out how many 5B has compared to almost EVERYONE else!  Yikes! We were in the top 3 lead last time around!  I think we've forgotten about this!  SO, if you have ANY of these hanging around your house, GET THEM IN HERE!  I'll go through our pail, too!  Let's see if we can AT LEAST get 100! 

HUGE REMINDER #2!

Lt. Governor Reynolds will be joining us tomorrow!  She is very interested in ST Math because it is a STEM.  She'll be stopping by to learn about your progress, interest, challenges, etc.  Here is a link to learn more about her and what she supports in Iowa.  Click Here!

HUGE REMINDER #3!

Field Trip on THURSDAY... LONG DAY! 

Be ready at 6:30 a.m. with lunch, drinks, backpack, etc.  

Leave at 6:45 a.m.

Busy day of learning, fun and travel to Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN!

Return to Cresco approximately 6:15-6:30 p.m.

Blog Proof.... Get EVERYONE you can to come in and show they are 100% ready for a QUICK start to the day!  Talk to them out at recess.  We will keep the same jobs for Tuesday, so we can get the day started.  I'll know you've been talked to or helped others get ready by EVERYONE at their homes, with angel halos (ding) above their heads!
