McCaslin Update May 29-June 1



Mrs. McCaslin’s Fifth Grade Update May 29- June 1
Memory Verse (test May 29 ) Ruth 1:16 “ But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me
to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.”

Dear Parents,
 Thank you to all the parents who contributed to our "Everybody's Birthday" party. Mrs. Vergas and Mrs. Clarke outdid themselves with an amazing "Middle Ages" themed party.Thanks to Mrs. Aboma and Mrs. Pecore for your assistance at the party. There were goblets, crowns, leeches, signet rings,marshmallow catapults,and even an edible castle! What a great party- The students enjoyed the celebration!
We’re  nearly ready with our own chapel presentation coming this Wednesday May 30th, teaching about the
Knight’s Code. We’ve been filming videos in preparation for the big day. We’re planning a time of worship and
testimonies that should be very special. Please see the Blog post titled " Chapel Program May 30" for details.
Several students have volunteered to take on special roles that may require a little preparation (for example,
writing and practicing a short introduction), while a few others have asked to share a testimony of how God is
working in their lives, please check the program. Please don't worry if you don't see your child's name, all of the kids will participate in the skits and recite a verse.
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 coming along nicely! All of the students have a completed rough draft!! We'll be making edits and revisions in the coming few days in plenty of time to have a "polished" final copy by June 4.
Several parents have requested some ideas for summer reading, writing and math. I’ll check with Mr. Reidl and share some ideas with you coming soon!
With joy,
Dixie McCaslin
