End of 1st semester 5th grade 2013-2014

Well we have reached the end of the 1st semester of our 2013-2014 grade 5 year.

We have worked hard in both reading and math. We have seen improvement in math that is fantastic. Keep up the great work!

In reading we haven't seen the growth that we should have so far this year. Could it be the new curriculum or could it be something else? It is hard to say but if we are doing as much reading as we can outside of school we should have seen more improvement. 

There is only one real way to get better at reading, and that is to READ!

Read often, read as much as you can, read for fun, read for information, read to learn.

So for the rest of the year we encourage you to read every single day for as long as you can. 


Have a fabulous break, read lots, and enjoy knowing that you are special and have every opportunity for greatness. Make the choice to be something great.


Thank you,
