Walking Field Trip to Meany Hall October 16
On Friday, October 16, the class will take a walking field trip to Meany Hall at the University of Washington to see a dance group. Fun!
Class Count and Adios Ternik
Our class currently has 28 students. We had 29, but Ternik has left us to go to school in Tacoma. We'll miss him.
The Japanese 5th grade has 26 students. Ms. Nani believes there is a waiting list for JSIS 5th grade, so one or both classes may still get a new student or two.

Volunteer Opportunity -- Spanish Class
Sr. Brent Hester needs one or two volunteers to come in two days per week (any day from Tuesday - Friday) to help with filing. Even if you can do one day, that would be so helpful!
Our class is in Sr. Hester's room in the afternoon, but you may be able to work in the morning if that's more convenient.
Contact Sr. Hester if you can help.

Advanced Learning Packets -- Reminder
Just a quick reminder that Advanced Learning packets are due October 8.
Completing both the parent and teacher forms and submitting them by the deadline means your child will be tested for "Spectrum". Hamilton, Eckstein and Whitman middle schools all offer Spectrum classes. The test takes place this fall to qualify for NEXT fall.
"Spectrum" classes in middle school involve only Language Arts (Engligh) and Social Studies classes. Advanced, or "honors" math is separate. A test for admission to honors math will be administered at the end of 5th grade.
For more information about advanced learning opportunities in middle school, contact me. There's a lot to know and information from the district can be spotty.

5th Grade Haunted House at the Monster Mash
Remember the haunted house on the stage at the Monster Mash? Did you know that it's traditionally put on by the 5th graders?

If you can't make the meeting, but would still like to participate, please contact Glyde Hart King at kingofharts@mindspring.com.
