Goin’ Upstairs Festivities

“Goin’ Upstairs” Festivities
Next year you will be upstairs students! This is an exciting advance for you. You have learned a lot this year in fourth grade and you will have a wonderful year next year with Ms. R in 5th grade. Here is what I have planned for you for our Goin’ Upstairs Festivities.

Regular Academic schedule

8:45-9:00 am
Guest Speaker: Ms. R.
Ms. Ronquillo answers questions about 5th grade. This is very nice of her to visit us. The last week of school is hectic for teachers. She will visit us during her prep time, which means her students are with another teacher (Mr. Smith for music) Be well-behaved, thoughtful, and ask those burning questions you have about fifth grade.
