May is upon us! Wow, this year has gone really fast! As I reflect on this school year, I am so pleased to have had your child in my class. The amount these students have learned is incredible. I am proud of how hard they have worked this year.
 For the next week or so, we are working on a 5th grade commercial for reading. The kiddos have created a script for the commercial and we are now working on different backdrops. I am hoping to get the final project published by the middle of the month.
 In math, we are busy reviewing and getting ready for the math MCAs. I cannot wait to see how they do on this. They have worked extremely hard and have grown immensely this year.
In Social Studies, we just wrapped up our Brochure project. The brochures turned out really neat and we have received many compliments on them. This week, we are focusing on Lewis and Clark and their expedition.
Just a reminder that tomorrow (Tuesday) we will be taking our Math MCA. Please make sure that your child gets a good nights rest and a decent breakfast so they can perform the best they can.
Have a great week! Let's finish strong!
