This November has been a busy month! We went on a field trip to the Erie County Court House and to the High School to see an anti-bullying presentation. We also recognized our veterans and had a wonderful guest speaker from Journey's End Refugee Services visit the 5th grade classrooms. We even had our first snow day!
Chorus Concert-- Wednesday, November 20. 7:00pm
Students in chorus will have a dress rehearsal performance during the school day then perform for families and the community at 7:00 pm. I'm lucky to get to accompany our amazing chorus for a song on guitar this year! I'm looking forward to it, they sound great!
Challenge Project Presentations-- Monday, November 25
Students who took part in our optional 5th grade Challenge Projects will have an opportunity to share their work with other 5th graders on Monday, November 25 during school.
Thanksgiving Celebration-- Tuesday, November 26
We will be having a Thanksgiving Celebration where we share a "Friendship Salad" with all of Ellicott's 5th grade students. Due to allergies, we ask that you do not cut up the ingredients before sending them in to school. Parent volunteers will cut and prepare the salad at school.
Your child volunteered to bring in one ingredient at school today. By Wednesday 11/20, please return the slip that went home today confirming which ingredient you will send in on November 26. If you would like to send in a different ingredient than the one your child chose, just write that ingredient on the confirmation slip.
