McCaslin Update May 14-18







Mrs. McCaslin’s Fifth Grade Update May 14-18
Memory Verse (test May 18) 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,
We’re  working hard 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 having a test on Ancient Rome and Greece on Wednesday, May 16. I’m sending the test review
sheet with students today for those who want an early start. We will be spending class time on Monday
and Tuesday filling out the review sheet, but I know some kids like to have a little extra “lead time”
I hope you’ve all seen the “purple packet” with the outline of the Middle Ages Research project. We have
started our research and note-taking in class. Please help your child obtain resources from the library if
he or she doesn’t have enough resources at the school.The thirty facts are due Monday, 5/14

Please note the dates of our spring MAP testing below. If at all possible, please avoid appointments at
these times.
With joy,
Dixie McCaslin
