McCaslin Update May 21-24

Mrs. McCaslin’s Fifth Grade Update May 21-24

Memory Verse (test May 24 ) 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 teaching about the Knight’s Code. We’ll be
filming our videos this week in preparation for the big day. We’re planning a time of worship and teaching that
should be very special.

 Another project we want you to know about is our work with our first grade reading buddies on books called
“Zoophabet”. Your kids have been sweet helpers and role models to the younger buddies.

 We have started our outlines and rough drafts in class for our Middle Ages reports. Please check with your child
this week-end to be sure he or she will have the rough draft complete and ready to turn in on Thursday, May 24.

 Our spring MAP testing is nearly complete, the kids worked so hard and did their best! I’m proud of them.

With joy,

Dixie McCaslin
