A few more reminders...


Well, I just got a phone call from Mrs. Sovereign and school will be delayed 2 hours for tomorrow. So, there goes my hope for a normal day, but hopefully we can at least have school! I forgot to remind you of a few things in my last post that I want to make sure you know just in case we don't have school tomorrow.

  • Math Test - I have postponed the math test until Monday, February 15, so you have a little more time to study! :)
  • Social Studies Test - I am not sure what Mrs. Halverson's plan is for this, but be prepared for possibly having it tomorrow or Thursday
  • Box Social - We will still have our box social on Thursday. Remember to bring a decorated box with one drink in a plastic bottle, one healthy snack and one junky snack. (No homemade treats or peanut products.)
I think that's it for now... I hope to see you tomorrow!

Conference Craziness!!


Well, 5C... Here we go again. Another snow day! I know you are all enjoying your day off of school, so remember that when we are making all of these days up in May! Our missed day today puts our last day of school as the last Friday of May, so keep your fingers crossed for no more snow days, or we will be going to school in June!

I'm hoping that as you read this blog, you already know about the school's plan to reschedule conferences, but in case you aren't aware, here it is. The plan is to have a 3 hr. early dismissal on Thursday, February 11th. Then, conferences will be held from 12:30-8:00 pm. Some of you are already scheduled for your conference on Thursday, so you are welcome to come at your scheduled time. But, many of you were scheduled for Monday. So here are your options:

1. Have your parents send a note, call me (at home or at school) or email me the time your family would like to come in for your conference. It would be helpful to know what families are able to come on Thursday, but is not totally necessary.
2. Just come! Come anytime on Thursday between 12:30-8:00 that works for you and your family. Since our conferences are student-led, we can have more than one conference going on at a time. There are plenty of spots in the room for you and your family to have a quiet and private conference.

So, my contact information is on the side of the blog if you would like to contact me to tell me the approximate time you will be coming for your conference. Otherwise, we can just wait and see who all comes on Thursday night.

Hopefully I will see you all tomorrow and we will have one day of normalcy before our 3 hr. early out on Thursday. Enjoy the rest of your day off!

See ya!

Mega Big-elow Friday!

It has been a very busy and interesting week in 5C! The highlights would definitely be the return of Mathew and the arrival of Brittany. Welcome to our 5C family! I will post more about our exciting (and full!!) week in school later this weekend. So, for now enjoy the comments 5C students had about their week!
