We have had a successful first week of school!  I have loved getting to know each one of your children and look forward to having a fun year with them.  

You will be receiving information on book reports, Brilliant Bobcat, and the Young American Award this week.  Book report due dates will be posted on the blog calendar so please watch for those.  

The Young American Award is in it's second year at Butterfield Canyon.  This is something that is optional for your child.  I would love to see the entire class get this award.   Passing off the Young American requirements will also cover some of the Brilliant Bobcat requirements.  

We will start spelling this week.  Our spelling program is different than what you are normally used to seeing.  If you read through the disclosure statement sent home last week, there is more information on spelling in there so please refer to that.

If you have any questions or concerns please e-mail me and let me know.  It is very important that we work together to ensure that your child has a successful fifth grade experience.


Book Orders were sent home today.  (Monday, August 27th)  If you would like to order online our class code is HXNYP.   Orders are due next Tuesday.  (September 4th)
