Corrected papers are coming home tonight. Make sure you check backpacks to see your student’s outstanding work!
Thursday Thoughts and a few fliers are coming home as well.
Please remember ALL library books are due TOMORROW May 28th.
Please make sure students do not bring toys to school. They can bring them on Fridays for our Friday Free Time, but they need to stay in their backpacks until its time for the free time. Having toys is very distracting to everyone.
Attention 5th Grade Parents:
A red half slip of paper is coming home tonight. Please read through it carefully.
Have a great night!

Tomorrow is the 5th grade field trip to Fisherman’s bend. Please wear appropriate clothes and comfortable shoes. Students will go on an outdoor hike.
Choir field trip is May 28th
Remember May 26th is the last day for book orders.
ALL library books are due back my May 28th. Mrs. Loyd needs them all back by the 28th so they can do inventory. I believe the library will be open this summer. I will get back to you with more information.

Today was awesome. I hope you can attend next year. This is a really neat field trip for the kids to go on. Everyone worked really hard and had fun at the same time. I will send or post pictures when I can. A parent who attended will send them to me (my camera pooped out).
* Last year I created a CD of pictures I have taken of the class through out the year. The kids and parents really liked them. If you are interested in receiving a CD full of class pictures they are $3.00. I do them at Costco because I don’t know how to down load them on a CD from my computer.
* I have also received some things for our class store. They are mostly girl items. If you are able to bring in boy items that would be great. I have talked to the class about it and told them they could bring in toys they don’t play with any more. They need to check with parents first.
* Many students have expressed that they are going to be ordering books from the LAST book order of the year. Please make sure orders are in be May 26th. I want to make sure we get the books in before school is out.
* Reminder to all 5th grade parents: 5th grade field trip on Tuesday, May 26th.
Have a great weekend!

Tomorrow is DBR. I gave a check list to each student of what to bring. The only thing that was not on the list (of course) was a water proof jacket in case it rains (which it probably will). We will be going rain or shine!
I also wanted to let you know, May 28th is when ALL Forest Ridge library books need to be turned in. There will be no more check out.
I would also like you and your student to look around your house for any books that belong to me. They will most likely have a pocket in the back, and my name in the book.
Starting in June I am going to ask the kids to not take them home any more. I hate to do that, but I need to do “inventory.”
To all 5th grade parents, we still need people to help out with the recognition on June 14th. Don’t forget to send your 5th grader with $2.00 as well.
Have a great night,
Karrie Brown

Graphing—most kids got it done in class
June 14th will be our last class store. If you are able to donate anything for the kids to buy I would really appreciate it. Some things we need are: Juice boxes, snacks of any kind and whatever else you would like to contribute. I know this is a busy time of year, and for some expensive. Even if each parent bought one item that would really help.
May 26th is when I will be ordering books. It is our last book order of the year! Take this opportunity to make sure your students have great reading material for the summer.
Dear 5th Grade Families,
5th grade recognition night is coming fast! As we are going over all of the details, we are finding holes in areas that we need your help with. Here are some areas we need help with:
1. Decorate gym at 3:15 on June 14th. 12-15 parents are needed. Teachers will not be at school during this time. One of these parents needs to be in charge of arranging baby photos, of which the students will already bring in. Another parent will need to hang kids posters, of which will already be completed. If you are willing to take on this responsibility please contact Sara Koenig at koenig_sara@salkeiz.k12.or.us.
2. We need 10 flower bouquets. In the past, it has been easiest for one parent to do this. If you are willing to take on this responsibility please contact Karrie Brown at brown_karrie@salkeiz.k12.or.us.
3. We need one parent to pick up 20 balloons and table cloths (the roll of plastic table cloths works best). You will be reimbursed. Please use our colors. They are school colors: burgundy, blue, green. If you are willing to take on this responsibility please contact Sara Koenig at koenig_sara@salkeiz.k12.or.us.
4. This year the 5th grade gift is building an arbor for our Naturescape. We would like each student to bring in $2.00 for the gift, and we need parents to help guide the students building the arbor. If you are able to come help students build the arbor please contact Kyle Jorgensen: jorgensen_kyle@salkeiz.k12.or.us
So far these parents have a job:
Elizabeth Beazizo: picking up forks, plates, napkins, and cups in school colors.
Marci Hill: buying 4 ½ sheet cakes from Costco. Each cake should say: “ Congratulations 5th Graders” in school colors.
Deann Garcia: punch
Program: Emily Loyd
Flowers: Mrs. Walling
Thank you so much for helping this be a memorable night for your children!

multiplication--some kids got it done in class
Today we had a guest speaker talk to us about Waste Free Lunches. Each student took home a paper describing how they can pack a waste free lunch. If they fill out the pledge and turn it in to me, they could win a Laptop lunch box!
Scholastic Book orders are also coming home. It will be our last book order of the year.
Have a great night
