I guess I'm too good at hiding!

Hi 5th Grade,
I guess I'm too good at hiding.  I'll hide in a spot that is a little easier to find.  And, besides, it's a little lonely hiding all by myself.  I've decided that I am going to join your class.  Would that be ok?  You are the most amazing fifth graders ever!  I can't wait for Mr. Goh to pull my stick to be a classroom helper or to classify a Shurley sentence.

My hiding places have been too easy!

Hi 5th Grade,
I know, I know...my hiding places have been way too easy so far.  Today, I found a much better spot.  I love Christmas because it is a gregarious time of year.  If and when you find me, I will give you five!
Bloggy

Come and find me if you can!

Hi 5th Grade,
Don't worry if you can't find me tonight.  I found a better hiding place.  Even with a disability, I have a life without limits.

Who's excited about the Barnes and Noble trip?

Hi 5th Grade,

Who is excited to go on this field trip tomorrow???  Personally, I can't wait.  Here are a few reminders.

1)  You must be in school uniform.

2)  Please bring at least $8 for lunch.  You may want to bring more if you plan to make purchases at the bookstore.

3)  Bring your backpack to school tomorrow.  We'll pack bags and handout Friday Folders before we leave.

4)  If you plan on being dismissed directly from Ocala, I will dismiss you directly to your parents only.  If you have another arrangement, I must have a written note from your parents.

If you or your parents have any questions, or need to contact us while we're in Ocala, my phone number is 352-563-8026.
