Hello there everyone. I just wanted to give you a heads up for Monday, Feb. 28th. If there is snow on the ground on Monday morning, please send your child to school with their winter clothing, their plastic trash bag and their hot chocolate mix. We are thinking that the storms that are predicted to happen this weekend, will leave us with enough snow for Monday, so we can do our dog sled races.
We will be taking our writing test on Wednesday, March 2nd. Please make sure your child comes to school that day. It is a mandatory test that students have to take, so it is very important that they are here on Wednesday. The only day a student could make the test up, would be on Thursday, March 3rd.
Be looking for the Science Fair rules to come home next week. I hope all the students have got some good ideas for their projects. The Science Fair will be here before we know it, so get going on those projects, if you haven't done so already.
I look forward to meeting with all of you again for SEOP's. Thanks for all of your help and support with your child. Sincerely, Mrs. Little

Hello everyone. Just a little bit of a heads up for the next couple of days. If there is at least 2" on snow on the ground in the morning(Thurs., Feb.17th), please send your child to school with their winter wear, plastic bag and hot chocolate for our dog sled activity. If there is no snow tomorrow, we will plan on Friday afternoon for this activity, if there is even snow then. If there is no snow, what-so-ever, we will stay with the original plan of having our Worker's Holiday on Friday afternoon, instead. It will be either a movie or a game day. Students will have to choose which one they would rather go to and stay with that activity the whole time. If you are still confused and need to call me, my cell phone is 463-0441, or call me here at school at any time.
I hope all of you have received your child's progress report, along with the newsletter that was sent home today. There are a few items that need to be signed and returned to me asap. I will need the newsletter signed and returned, as well as the Three for Me slip, Science Fair permission slip and the SEOP schedule.
It is the end of the year and a lot of events and things sneak up on us, so always be sure to check the school's web site, as well as the blog, so you are informed ahead of time.
Thanks so much and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to visiting with all of you here in a couple of weeks. Sincerely, Mrs. Little

Well, we have hit the mid-term mark for third quarter, so please make sure your child is staying caught up. The next progress report will be coming home next Wednesday, Feb. 16th. We are shooting for Friday, Feb. 18th to be our next Worker's Holiday. Be sure to look for more information in our next Newsletter.
Be looking for a Valentine list to come home in the next couple of days. If your child wants to bring in Valentines on Monday, they will need to bring one for the whole class. We will be having a small party in the afternoon, on Monday, Feb. 14th. I don't think we will need any treats for this party, though. The students will already be on a sugar high by the time we get to celebrating, I am sure.
Remember there will not be any school on Monday, Feb. 21st, due to President's Day.
On Tuesday, Feb. 22nd, Science permission slips will be coming home. They will need to be signed and returned back to school by Friday, Feb. 25th. Remember that all fifth graders are required to do the Science Fair this year. The rules and information on how to get started, if you haven't already, will be sent home the following week on Feb. 28th. I hope that if you have a science experiment that is going to take over a 3 week period to test out and do- that you have started it already, because students only have until March 25th to get the science experiment completed. We will be having our Science Fair on Friday, March 25th. Parents can come in and view experiments from 1:00-3:15.
I wanted to remind some students and parents that the first Reading Revolution for 3rd quarter is due next Wednesday.
I appreciate all the help and concern I get from parents. Keep up the good work you are doing with your children. Sincerely, Mrs. Little

Hello there parents and students. Wow! Can you believe it is already February? I can't. I don't know where time goes anymore. Anyhow, be looking for a progress report to be coming home tomorrow- Wednesday, Feb. 2nd. We haven't sent one home with the students in awhile, so be sure to go over it with your child, so you can see that he/she is staying caught up.
You probably noticed a D.A.R.E letter and permission slip that came home with your child on Monday. If you are going to allow your child to be in the D.A.R.E program, please have that letter signed and returned to school by next Monday, Feb. 7th. If you are not wanting your child to attend the program then please indicate that you don't want him/her to attend on the letter. We will have D.A.R.E every Monday at 9:00, until the middle of April. It should be a lot of fun and a great learning experience.
We are going to try to have our Winter Survival activity this Friday, however, we cannot do it without snow, so if there is not any snow left on the ground Friday, Feb., 4th, we will postpone it until the next snow day. We will be sure to give you a days notice, so that the students are ready for it. This activity is a lot of fun. The students get to learn about hypothermia, what to do if they get lost, and how to make survival kits. Then for a fun activity, we have some dog-sled races ( the students are the dogs ) for a fun little physical activity. We have always had a lot of fun with this activity. We go over to Cedar Highs Soccer field to do it, so if you want to come and join us and help out with the fun, let me know. I would love to have anyone who would like to come. Like I said, it is supposed to be this Friday, but if there is no snow, it will be on the next snow day that we have.
We are moving into Static and Current electricity in science and we will be having a guest speaker coming into give us a Power Presentation on Monday, Feb. 7th. It is always important to learn how to be safe around electricity.
I hope all of you received your child's spelling list for our big Spelling Bee this year. If not, let me know, and I will see what I can do to get you a new one. The Spelling Bee will be on April 1st, and that day will be here before you know it, so get studying those words kids, so you're ready....
The Science Fair will be here before we know it, as well. I hope you have ideas in your heads and you're starting those experiments, so you have the time to test them out. The Science Fair will be on March 25th. Letter will be sent home at the end of Feb., so be looking for more information. By the way, fifth grade students are required to do a Project this year.
I will be sure to keep you all up-dated when all these big activities get closer to being due, so just keep reading the blog.
Thanks for all of your help. Sincerely, Mrs. Little
