Hello Parents,
Happy Tuesday! This is just a quick reminder about our upcoming novel study. We will begin our Sign of the Beaver unit this Monday. Please send your child to school with the novel. If you have any questions or concerns, I'll be happy to help you out. Also, this year the fifth graders will be going out to PE twice weekly. On Thursdays we have our running club. Fridays will be our regular PE day where the students will participate in activities with the other fifth grade classes. In order for the children to be comfortable and ready for PE, we ask that they wear clothes that would be appropriate for sports activities and being outside. Please read the following guidelines for PE clothes:
  • Plain white shirt or a SRA team shirt from a sport you participated in. Shirts with other logos will be turned inside out.
  • Navy blue athletic shorts
  • Athletic shoes (no slip ons, or flats) with arch support is needed during activities.
  • White or black solid color socks
  • Optional: SRA cap or Navy blue without a logo
  • A water bottle
  • Navy blue sweat pants and sweatshirt for winter (if it ever gets cold)
  • No yoga pants, flip flops, no boots, slip on shoes, or jewelry. No short shorts.
We will give the students time to get these items. To begin with, students should come to school or bring appropriate shoes to run in. Thank you parents and have a wonderful day!
