September 16-20

State Project
Even though we're not completely done with the sets of states and capitals (We have the western states test set for Thursday, Sept. 19 and will finish up with the northeastern states on Thursday, Sept. 26.), I'll be passing out the assignment sheet Monday for the project that should wrap up this unit on states and capitals. It's due on October 3 so we can finish up right before the two week Autumn Break. Look for the project assignment sheet to come home in the Gold Folder on Monday afternoon.

Bullying Education
Mr. Scott Stroud, our school counselor, will be presenting a bullying education program to fifth grade students this week.
