Public Library

I will be at HPL Express Monday, March 11-March 14 from 9a.m. to 12p.m. I will be there to help with reading or to check the motivation reading book. This is not mandatory but this is a great opportunity to get help from the teacher in a one-on-one way.  Below are directions on how to get there from Sutton Elementary.

Writing in a Journal

I came across the perfect example of a journal. A journal is an excellent way to write down any thoughts you may have and jot down memories, especially for the fifth grade year. Anything exciting or not so exciting can fit perfectly into a journal. A poem you liked or a story/movie you saw, write it down! Read Amelia's Notebook and get inspired to start your own journal.
