Colonial Day fundraiser information

We are working on earning money for Colonial Day.  I guarantee that it will probably be the best Colonial Day that Keppel has had.

Here's the website:

http://www.gofundme.com/fq5pmc

The idea is that each kid either gets 5 people to donate 5 dollars via the gofundme website.  You can also donate the 25 (or more) yourself.  You can also donate without the internet by sending a check (payable to MKS) or cash.

If you donate the 25 you receive a Colonial Day picture DVD, a headshot of your child (when we do that), and a graduation night DVD

The 5th grade thanks you!!

We're finishing up multiplying fractions, and will begin learning how to divide fractions tomorrow.  The first step is learning about reciprocals

Language Arts

Just beginnings the first steps of writing a personal narrative.  Workbook pages 79, 81, 82 assigned this week as well as the usual vocabulary boxes.  Spelling / vocabulary test Friday

Science

Nothing today, but keep studying the human body.  The test will be in about two weeks.


In case you were wondering about yellow ribbon week, it's a week celebrating kindness.  Students may turn in quotes about kindness to the office.  Friday is crazy hair day.  I'm not sure what that has to do with kindness, but it's always fun.
