McCaslin Update May 7-11






Mrs. McCaslin’s Fifth Grade Update May 7-11
Memory Verse (test May 11) 1 Cor. 6:19-20 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of
the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.”
Dear Parents,
We have had a great week learning about devotions and worship in Chapel from third graders!. 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’ll be working this week on finishing work with quality effort and on time. Please look for a purple
packet that describes our upcoming Middle Ages research/report project. It will be a challenge to keep
on track for the coming weeks, but I’m confident your child will rise to the challenge! Spelling and
Grammar will be done at home for homework from now on so we have class time to work on our research
projects. It will still be due on Thursday of each week.
I hope you’ve all seen the “purple packet” with the outline of the Middle Ages Research project. This is
a culminating project that the fifth graders have been hearing about all year. Please read through
carefully with your child. We’re going to need your help to keep on track and on time. The first step is
due Monday, please sign and return the packet with your child.
With joy,
Dixie McCaslin
