The fifth graders began working with a new anchor text in our clean water unit. This book, called One Well, widens the scope from a single river in New England to the water situation in the entire world. The students learned about the pressing water situations faced by people the world over. The fifth graders were engaged and worked well with one another during our ELA time.

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.
