McCaslin Update April 30-May 4



Mrs. McCaslin’s Fifth Grade Update April 30-May 4
Memory Verse Isaiah 41:10   (Test May 4)
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I
will uphold you with my righteous right hand”.


Dear Parents,
We have had a great time learning about kindness in Chapel from some very creative third graders! Look for a
kindness challenge coming up in the month of May. We’re also working on our own chapel presentation coming
May 30. Our students have written skits to teach about the “Knight’s Code” and are hoping to film them to show
at the chapel later in May. We’re studying Ancient Rome, reviewing in math and working on writing excellent
paragraphs - and more!
Congratulations to the cast and crew of Seussical for such an amazing production. That was amazing!
With joy,
Dixie McCaslin
