Last week, the children participated in "An Hour of Code" in Room 10. They were very excited about this opportunity and enjoyed learning how to code a computer game. After they finished coding Minecraft, they were free to explore other coding opportunities. It was a successful endeavor.
DATES, DATES AND MORE DATES TO REMEMBER...
Tomorrow (providing the snow doesn't cause a school closing) everyone (cast and crew) will be participating in our initial read-through of their class play, Maria's River. Your child should bring a second snack tomorrow, which will be eaten at 3:20pm. IF IT IS CANCELLED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE SNOW DAY IS TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13TH. Please pick up your Thespian outside the music room in the lower level of the school promptly at 5:00pm.
The DARE essay is due on or before December 23rd. The essays may be hand-written or typed. I have given the children three 45-minute time frames to work on their essay at school. Now, they should complete the essays at home. The DARE Graduation will be Friday, January 13th at 9:45am.
Our Holiday party will be held on Friday, December 23rd at 9:45am. We will be having breakfast again. Feel free to join us, if you'd like.

Join us for the Crayfish Learning Fair on Thursday, December 22nd at 9:45am in the cafeteria. We are showcasing the children's knowledge of crayfish.

When we said that 5th grade was a busy year, we weren't kidding!!! Take care, Lester B. and class
