We had a big week with STAAR testing, and are happy to have two of the three tests behind us! Science STAAR is coming up on Wednesday, May 15. We should get test results for math and reading in early May. We'll keep you posted!
Normal homework and tutoring schedules resume next week. Don't forget that there is no school for students next Friday, April 19. 5th grade will be heading to the Bob Bullock Museum on Tuesday, April 23. Buses depart Hill at 9:00 AM and should arrive at the museum well before our 10:00 AM IMAX screening of "Amazon Adventure 3D". The movie runs for 45 minutes, after which time we will reload the buses and head back to Hill. We'll be back well before our regular lunch time so there is no need to pack a sack lunch for this field trip. The museum does welcome parent chaperones so long as you pay for your own ticket and meet us there. All parents would of course had to have already attended the Hill Parent Volunteer Training. Please read the attached letter from Mrs. Newton detailing some changes to the 6th grade language (LOTE) classes. Parents: We need your help! As part of the celebration, 5th graders will be guessing which baby photo belongs to which current 5th grader. Please send in a 4"x6" baby photo of your child with your child's name and their homeroom teacher's name written on the back. This photo will not be returned, so please send a copy, not the original. Photos should be turned in by Friday, May 10 to your child's homeroom teacher. 5th Graders will have an Autograph Hour and Meeting with Principal Drummond on their last day of school, May 24. This is a super fun time for the kids to autograph the yearbooks and relive the year and all the good times they have had at Hill! Principal Drummond will make an appearance and chat with them about the impact they have made on the school and send them off with an inspirational message for middle school. If you have not purchased a yearbook and still want to, follow the steps below:
We have completed cup sales for the 5th grade fundraiser and our clear winner and top saleswoman was Elle Ehlert! She’s won an after school pizza party with 3 friends! Big congrats to her! Thanks for reading, and have a great weekend! ~5th Grade Team
