Weekly News: Week 18

2016 has flown by! It's hard to believe we've been in school 5 months already! In this last week we learned some math behind The 12 Days of Christmas, we finished our Feature Articles, we made ornaments and celebrated our Holiday Party by decorating cookies and eating pizza. It's been a great end to 2016.

Have a wonderful winter break, enjoy the holidays, and a Happy New Year! See everyone again on January 9th!

Weekly News: Week 17

Wow! Only a few more days until Winter Break! 2016 has really flown by.

We've been reading the historical novel, Blood on the River, which is the story of the Jamestown Colony and their interactions with the Powhatan Empire. Learning about Captain John Smith and the rest of the English colonists has really shown us how important their relationships with the Native Americans were.

We also have been creating some different holiday art pieces. So far we've made Santa Stamps and Nutcrackers. The holidays are a great time to get creative. Check out our Twitter page to see some of the art pieces.

The biggest thing we've been working on is our Feature Articles. Each student picked a topic that they wanted to become an expert on. They've researched, and are now writing their articles to teach us all about their topics. These articles are due on Thursday, December 22nd, right before we leave for break.  Past examples of Feature Articles can be found HERE.

Band & Strings Holiday Concert

All of Mohr's 5th grade students will be performing on Monday, December 19th at 2:15pm, in the MPR for their Holiday Concert. Parents are welcome to attend.

Dress for the students will be anything festive that they would like to wear.  Students are encouraged to decorate themselves or their instruments.  Our PBB shirts are an option to wear.

Additional shirts were ordered and will be ready by the first assembly.  If you would like a shirt, or if you have not received your shirt, we will have them by 12-19.  The cost is $15.  Checks can be made to PSEE.

Can Food Donations

This week all of Mohr Elementary is collecting donations for a local food shelter. Our class has been tasked with bringing in Cake or Brownie Mix. If you have some in your pantries at home, or can pick some up at the grocery store, we would really appreciate it!

Weekly News: Week 16

We have been collecting field trip forms and money for our upcoming trip to Outdoor Ed. If you still need to submit your paperwork or the check, please make sure it is in by December 21st. We would like all the money collected prior to Winter Break. Checks should be made payable to PUSD.





Donations needed.... cold season has hit us hard in the classroom. If you are able to donate a box of tissues to the room, we'd really appreciate it!



Pizza Party Donations:
On Friday, December 22nd we are having our Holiday Party. Our wonderful room mom, Soniya Joshi, will be picking up pizza for lunch that day. We are hoping for a $3 donation from every student to help cover the cost.
