Parents,
I gave each student one of our history JINGLES to memorize for the graduation ceremony on May 13th. If they have trouble memorizing it, they can write it on a note card and read it during the ceremony. The entire 5th grade will be performing the Jingles together as they tell y'all how much they have learned this year. Thank you for helping them memorize this, and for making sure they have all their lines memorized by next Tuesday for our skit:). We have so many fun things going on over the next two weeks! I am missing them already!!! Love, Mrs. B.
