We had a great week here in the Grade 5 classroom…and am AMAZING Friday adventure, hiking up Lindeman!  The weather was a little chilly at the top, but that didn’t stop us from having fun!  I am so proud of the class, the way they encouraged each other while hiking up Lindeman.  Students were positive, cheerful and LOVED being in nature!  This will definitely go down as a highlight of the year for me!  I have posted A LOT of photos at the end…so keep reading!

A few things coming up…

New Bible Memory Verse:  This month’s theme in chapel is on prayer and we will be learning the Lord’s prayer this month.  The new passage is on the blog and I will be sending sheets home on Monday.  I will still keep the testing for this weeks verse on Wednesday as I think it is pretty easy.  Matthew 6:9  “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name”.

Spelling:  election, wait, quit, signal, admit, travel, language, noun, verb, rapid.  The spelling words are on spelling city.  This week I either need to have students get 10/10 on spelling city in class OR I will need a note from home (in planner or email) stating 10/10 was achieved.

Orange Shirt Day on Monday:  Students can wear casual bottoms and an orange shirt this Monday.  Shirt does not need to be solid orange but should contain a good portion of orange.

Comfort Kits:  These are due on Friday.
