Week Fourteen

* A big thank you to all the parents who offered to make gingerbread playdough over the weekend! You all are so great and so willing to step up and help when needed. I really appreciate it!

* If you have volunteered to drive to the high school on Wednesday, please plan on getting to school at 12:30 and we will leave shortly after. You can either stay and enjoy the concert, or you can drop off and come back at 1:50 when the concert is over. It's totally up to you.

* The Lakeside holiday concert will be on Thursday, December 18th at 2:30 in the gym. Each grade level will be singing a song so make sure to bring your holiday spirit that day.

* Our holiday party will be on Friday, December 19th from 8:45-10:15. Like I've mentioned before, it will be a PJ/Pancake party. I will be looking for two parents (who aren't already signed up to be a helper for this party) to help flip pancakes. E-mail me if you're available. I will also need two electric skillets. 

Dear Lakeside Students and Families,
Howard, our kind and caring crossing guard, works every day to keep us safe. We would like to thank him by giving him a gift for the holiday season. If you are able and willing, please bring in a small donation of money to your teacher by Friday, December 12. The donations will be gathered and will purchase a gift card for Howard to thank him for keeping Lakeside a place where kindness and safety counts!Thank you in advance for your thoughtfulness!Warmly,Lakeside Fifth Grade Safeties

What we are learning about in school...

Literacy: We have been spending a lot of time on hearing short vowel sounds as well as hearing ending sounds in words.

Writing: We continue to work on writing narratives with a first, next, last part to our stories. We will be finishing up this unit before our holiday break.

Math: We have started chapter 5 which focuses on addition. We have been using pictures and counters to help solve addition story problems.

Science: We started our next science unit which focuses on the five senses.
