The first day of February saw the fifth graders spend time investigating the reasons that explores ventured from the European continent to the new world during social studies today. The students built off of the knowledge that they compiled during their look into Columbus. This will lead into a closer examination of other explorers who traveled to the new world. The students were engaged in this lesson and I loved to see the students participating during all phases of the lesson.

A new batch of permission slips were sent home with the students. Because it is the mid point of the year, we are looking to switch both A.M. and P.M. patrols. If students are interested in filling one of these positions, they need to have an adult at home sign the paperwork and have it be returned to school next week. Students who filled a patrol spot in the first half of the year, may also fill a spot in the second half of the year. Please let me know if there are any questions pertaining to patrols. Students should try to return these forms to school as soon as possible.
