1. 5th grade News February 3, 2017 Dates to remember: A peek at next week
Happy Homecoming Week! This week has been filled with crazy socks, sports teams, and all things Trojan! We even had a Trojan horse show up on Friday! In addition to the homecoming activities we did learn some things as well as practice for the upcoming MAP tests. We also discovered a few new websites that make learning fun. More about that below.  This morning our class won the “Hallway challenge” with $212 in hallway bucks! However, we are in 3rd place in the Tens for Trojans challenge. Please keep sending dimes in with your student so that we can fill our bottle to the top! Have a lovely weekend and make sure you cheer on the Trojans to VICTORY tonight! ~ Mrs. Atkinson
