Dear Families of Fifth Graders,

What a treat to see the sun return after the dreary few days! The 5th grade classes will be starting the Science portion of the state testing. Since the test is completed on a computer, only one class at a time can take the test. It lasts for 2 days.
In science small groups in each class have been creating their own Biodomes. Talk to your child about the Biosphere II project and what he is doing in class with his group. Each class is doing something different in LA. Mr. Miller is working on research, Mr. Price is working on plays, and Mrs. Chew is revisiting novel excerpts.
We have lots of exciting events approaching during this spring! Please Mark Your Calendars!
April 26th from 9 am – 4 pm you and your family can come help clear the trail behind the school. We will start around 9 am. Please bring tools such as shovels and rakes.
May 2: 2 hr. early dismissal – teacher work session
May 13: 5th Gr. Field trip to the Baltimore Museum of Industry-Info to come home soon. It is free thanks to our wonderful PTO! (we will need parent volunteers)
May 29: Pen Pal Picnic/Move Up Day at BMS
June 4: 5th Gr. Picnic 12:30-3:00 pm at BES
June 10: 5th Gr. Pool Party at Brunswick City Pool
June 12: Field Day
Date to be determined for our Market Days

All 3 classes are completely out of tissues. If you can send in a box it would be appreciated! Many children are still in need of notebooks.
Have a good week!
Mrs. Chew, Mr. Miller, & Mr. Price
