We are quickly approaching the end of 2013. 

The students will wrap up 2013 with an assessment on Chapter 4 in Social Studies Wednesday and the last of unit assessments in Math and Reading on Thursday.  We will spend Thursday afternoon making our gingerbread houses and getting last minute plans completed.  Friday, we will go caroling and put on a presentation at the nursing home.  Students will share a poem and angels with the residence of the home.  The afternoon will have a movie, popcorn and a little something to drink.

Have a wonderful holiday break with family and friends!

Please enjoy the holidays safely!

 

My angels have been busy at work!  We have now completed 1/2 of this group's 5th grade year!

An amazing concert!  I was very proud of my students and the respectful behavior during the concert. 

We are going to be super busy the next few days!  The class is planning to make angel Christmas ornaments for the residence of the nursing home.  We will go caroling on Friday with the 4th graders.  This should be lots of fun!

Students will be asked to participate in a food pantry drive.  The class may bring any non perishable goods and we will deliver them to the pantry when we go caroling.

Note that we will be having a Science test on Friday!  Last one before the break.  Social Studies will have a test on Tues. of next week.  We would like to wrap up president reports by Wednesday.  Encourage your child to get the report completed over the weekend.

Thanksgiving is behind us and the craziness of the holidays is in full swing!  Students are busy with art projects, lessons and concerts.  The elementary will have their annual Christmas concert on December 9 at 7:00 p.m.   We are also planning caroling and a classroom party. 

With the end of the calendar year coming quickly, the school is making plans for a school calendar for next year.  Please consider taking the school survey to have your preference for school dates considered.  Here are the directions to get involved in the survey.



 

Click here for Option #1 Click here for Option #2 Wishek Public School is making available for patrons to vote on two possible calendars for the upcoming school year. The main difference between the two calendars are the start and end dates of school. Option #1 has a starting date of August 21st and an ending date of May 21st with graduation May 24th. Option #2 has a starting date of August 18th and an ending date of May 14th with graduation May 17th. A couple things to consider before voting. The region track meet is scheduled for May 16th with the option to have it moved to the 15th if bad weather is predicted. This is a major reason why graduation would fall on a Sunday for Calendar #2. The state track meet is May 22-23rd. This is a major reason why graduation would fall on a Sunday for Calendar #1. click here to vote on school calendar. Deadline is December 15th to vote.
