Dear Parents,

We’ve had a great first couple of days in 5th grade!

Thank you so much for all of the school supplies!  It will help out tremendously throughout the year.

A couple of things I need to mention:
1) I sent home a project for moon journals.  Students will be required to create a journal and record their observations of the moon each night for one month.  They should be able to see a full cycle.  I will give students a reference sheet and explain all of the moon phases on Monday.  This way they can label correctly.  Please read the instructions.  The due date for the journals is September 5th.
2) Planners will come home daily.  Please initial your child’s planner each night after they complete their homework.  It is very important to their success!
3) We have a field trip scheduled to Flandrau Planetarium on 8/22 and we need parent drivers.  If you are able to volunteer, please let me know as soon as possible.  The cost is $5.00 per child.

Thanks for sharing your great kids with me!

Sincerely,
Mrs. DeBough
