Last Week of School

Just a couple of updates for our last week of school...

Desk Cleanout

On Tuesday we will be cleaning out our desks. Students should bring an empty backpack to school to take home all their work.

Pool Day

Wednesday is our last field trip to the Pleasanton Aquatic Center (DBAC) on Black Avenue. We will be gone pretty much all day. I've attached the Pool Day flyer so you know what your student needs. Each student should come to school with their swimsuit already on and a lunch. 

​

Field Day & Nacho Party

Thursday is Field Day and the 5th grade Nacho Party. Please take a look at the Field Day signup for volunteers. We are still in need of help to make the day run smoothly. Right after Field Day will be our Nacho Party. Thank you to everyone who signed up to bring something in. Please remember that this is a nacho party for the entire 5th grade. Please make sure you bring in the right quantity of items. Nacho Party Signup

Culmination

Friday is the Culmination! The ceremony is set to begin at 10:30am in the MPR. Everyone is invited to attend. Normally the ceremony lasts about an hour and then students are dismissed to leave with their families. Report cards will also be going home that day. 

On a personal note, I cannot thank you all enough for all the kind words, gifts, and notes I have received over the last couple of weeks. Leaving Mohr has been a tough decision but you and your students have helped make it a wonderful experience. On Wednesday I was hired by an elementary school up in Idaho where I will be teaching 4th grade next year. 

Thank you to everyone who came by Open House and stopped to chat. It's been an absolute pleasure being your child's 5th grade teacher this year. 

Kites!

Every year the fifth graders make kites using string, straws, tissue paper, and a lot of patience! It can be a frustrating activity as it does require a lot of fine motor skills and knot-tying capabilities, but the reward is great! Everyone was so proud of their kites, and we had a great afternoon out in the sunshine.

I've uploaded photos and videos of our kite-flying... check them out HERE!

Summer Can Food Drive

Keep the food bank shelves stocked with nutritious and non perishable foods during the summer! Most needed items are canned meats and fish, whole grain cereal, low sodium soups, nuts and beans, brown rice and quinoa, and peanut butter.

Let's fill the food donation cans in front of Mohr with much needed food donations for summer!  Our collection will be from May 20th - 24th.

Geometrocity Phase 1

Here is the school map to finish Phase 1 of Geometrocity.

Calling All Field Day Volunteers
