Hello 5th Grade parents,

The fifth grade video is an important tradition. It is very important to us that ALL fifth graders are represented. So that each 5th grader is included in the video, we need EVERYONE to send in photos of your 5th grader. 

These photos can be from kindergarten all the way through 5th grade.  They can include: photos of just your 5th grader, photos with their classmates or teachers, photos from field trips, photos from any school clubs they belong to (i.e. scouts, band, etc.), and photos from the various Lindbergh functions – anything having to do with Lindbergh.  Pictures that are sent in that did not take place at school or during a school event will not be used. 

Please email the photos to: 

FlyersClassOf2020@gmail.com

END DATE TO SEND IN PHOTOS IS MAY 22nd!!!

We will be having a Big Blue Button meeting today at 1:00. Big Blue Button can be accessed through our class iLearn. We will be discussing the Farewell Speech assignment on Google Classroom so please read the instructions so you can ask questions at the meeting if you have any.

Students, if you are turning in an assignment on Google classroom that was assigned 5/4 – 5/15 please email me that you have turned it in. (This DOES NOT apply to students who are up to date with assignments.) Google classroom doesn’t notify me when you hand it in. This is not necessary for current assignments that were made this week 5/18 – 5/21.  I will not be accepting work from the weeks of 4/20 and 4/27 unless there is a health or technology issue that you contact me about.

************Don’t forget that Mrs. Baloga, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Goeke, Mrs Ackerman, Mrs. Poisson, and Mr. Kwiecien have assignments on Google classroom for you to work on.************

Social Studies: Today we find out about someone who is often called “The First American” because he possessed many of the traits that we think of as being American such as willing to do hard work and being very independent. He is one of our Founding Fathers and was a statesman, which means he was a respected, skilled and experienced political leader. He was also a writer, a printer, and an inventor. Let’s find out more about Ben Franklin!
