Last week of quarter number two.... which means we are just about half way through 5th grade!
We do have spelling this week-make sure to check the words on the website!
For our Spelltacular results, our 5th grade representative from Lincoln is Matthew Brown from Mr. Bahr's room. It was so fun to watch these students battle it out!
There will be a Social Studies Test on Thursday this week; we will be reviewing Tuesday.

** Wednesday is early release. Students are dismissed at 12:50 with buses leaving at 1:00.

**Book orders are due this Friday- You can send in the order form or do it online.

Looking ahead a bit-We will have a field trip to Bemidji State Park Friday, February 12th. Be looking for information to come home in Tuesday packets. Due to the trip we will NOT be having a Valentine's day party.

Good morning!
Thank you to those who returned the slip letting me know what works best for communication! If you haven't done so please do! It is extremely helpful to know which way to communicate with you as parents.

We have a busy few weeks a head of us. We do not have spelling this week due to Martin Luther King Jr. Day and our Spelltacular being held on Friday. The top 5 students from my class will be competing with the other 5th grade classes in our building. We will be doing the 5th grade Lincoln spelldown Friday at 9:15.

We have our Mega Party for the fundraising students have done earlier this year. We are still looking for 5th grade parent volunteers to help out with the event. Please contact me if interested or return the green sheet.

The end of the quarter is creeping up on us. January 29th to be exact. As a class, the students are working really hard to get their AR goal for a class reward. Please encourage them to read at home to help them reach their goal.

In Social Studies, we are going to finish up our chapter of American Exploration. I am planning a test for next Wednesday January 27th.

Have a great, short week!

We will not be having a normal spelling list this week. We are getting ready for the Spelltacular. Mrs. Brown is giving the written test Tuesday and we will do our classroom spelldown on Friday the 15^th.  The following Friday we will have our 5^th grade spelldown. The top 2 spellers in the 5^th grade will then go on to compete with students from other schools.

In Social Studies, we are learning about Exploration of the Americas as well as technology at that time in History. We will be discussing what life was like before the Europeans came to the Americas.

The students are taking their OPLA reading test this week in Tech.

**Remember, we do NOT have school next Monday, January 18th due to Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

**The end of the quarter is January 29.

**Book orders went home last week in Tuesday Packets. The due date is January 29.

Happy New Year!
I hope all of you had a great Winter Break. Boy, did it go fast! The weather is finally starting to feel like winter, please make sure your child has adequate clothing for this time of year.
We are going right back into our routine this week with a spelling test this Friday.
The end of this quarter 2 is January 29.
