5th Graders Show Service and Stewardship

Our class showed our character quality of Service and Stewardship in two ways this month.

1).  Students created Christmas cards to send to militatry men and women.  What a great way to spread holiday cheer to those keeping us safe here at home!


2.)  Students are participating in Macy's "A Million Reasons to Believe."  For every letter written to Santa and dropped off at participating Macy's stores in their mailbox to go to the North Pole, $1 will be donated to the "Make a Wish Foundation."  I will be dropping the letters off personally for all the students after they are written in class over the next 3 days. 


Great work Mrs. Lancaster's class!  So proud of you!

*summaries for chapters
*add new characters to character lists
*WWW (wonderful wonder words) 5 from their reading
