May 13-17th

Dear Parents,
Thank you so much for all of the treats and gift cards last week! I truly felt appreciated!

This week is a busy one. Thursday will be the International Games followed by Open House at 6-7pm in the class. It is my hope that all of you can join us for your last Open House at Rio with your 6th grader. Rain is in the forecast as well to make things a little interesting. 

In addition, this Friday will be the big Jog-a-thon so, by all means, get some sponsors! I    have already challenged the class to run more laps that me...Think "tortoise and the hare".

Also, on Friday will be our last Geography test on South and Central America.

Spring has sprung...Family life, softball, junior high coming soon, field trips to Boardwalk, Beach and AHS, International Games. There is a lot happening in room 20.

Finally, a HUGE thank you goes out to Allison Fessenden, our super Room Parent. She volunteered to cover ALL of the Boardwalk passes for our class. 

Let me know if you have any questions in this busy time. 
See you this Thursday at 6pm!

Dear 6th Grade Families,
We are excited to start planning the 6th Grade Field Trip to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. The scheduled date is Monday, June 3rd 10 am- 3:30 pm.
To help us better plan how many day-trip wristbands we will need, we will send home a questionnaire and more information within the next couple of days. Please help us by deciding if you will need a day pass for you and your child or if you are buying a year pass ahead of time.


Thank you!
6th Grade Team
