Lots of pictures including a guest appearance by Mr. Chelman

Students had a fun and busy week. We finished our last 5th grade topic in math as well as our unit on the American Revolution. We'll also be wrapping up our writing unit on historical narratives on Monday. The PARCC math tests begin this week on Wednesday and Thursday. Be sure to get plenty of rest on the nights before testing days.

On Friday we got to see the musical performance of Peter and the Wolf. During the week, students worked on a team building activity with Mrs. Cardin. With 5 or 6 strings attached to one marker, students had to work together to write "Mr. Kelley" on their paper...while not speaking! It was a fun and challenging task. Check out all the pictures from our week!
