Mrs. McCaslin’s Fifth Grade Update June 4-8

Memory Verse- Test June 8 - 1 Samuel 12:20 “Do not be afraid,” Samuel replied. “You have done all this
evil; yet do not turn away from the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart.”

Dear Parents,

Your children are delightful! I’m honored and proud to be teaching and leading this remarkable group this
spring. They did a wonderful job presenting their chapel skits, verses and testimonies. It is amazing to see how
this group of kids sees the hand of God in their lives, even in the hard times.

Regarding progress toward our final grading period: please check RenWeb and ask your child to look for missing
assignments or grades below 70% to work to improve grades. I will be accepting corrections and late work until
June 8.

Our Middle Ages reports are nearly complete. We’ve been writing excellent thesis statements, "clincher"
statements, and “dressing up” our writing. Our final copy will be turned in Monday, June 4. We’re looking forward
to seeing their amazing presentations beginning on Wednesday, June 6.

We have two major celebrations coming up - we have earned our second “POINTS PARTY” and we will be
going BOWLING!!

The kids voted and chose to picnic at Custer Park for our “points party”. We’ll leave the school at 12:05, eat
lunch at the park, play kickball or whiffle ball, have a special snack and finally have a “free play” time before we
return to class and have a “READ IN” till the end of the day on Friday, June 8.

Our end-of-the-year Bowling field trip will take place on Monday, June 11th from 9:45-1:00 p.m. Students need
to wear/bring socks to use with the bowling shoes, and don’t forget to wear your red WHCS shirt! Lunch will be
provided at Pizza Caboose. While students are welcome to purchase snacks while bowling, I hope they are
considerate of others who didn't bring money for snacks. Mrs. Vergas, our room parent, will be contacting
volunteer driver/chaperones - we will need 4 to 5 drivers to transport 21 students and one teacher. I'll be sending
volunteer info to you soon. Let me know if you have additional questions! The cost will be covered by our classroom funds, so you do not have to send money with your child!

With joy,

Dixie McCaslin
