Greetings to CCA 5^th Grade! 

• We have three school weeks left before our STEM Fair. Mentors, you are doing a great job editing and leaving comments on our future innovators’ work.  If others have expertise in their technology, they can, also, offer mentoring.
• Please make sure to be thinking about the designing and layout of the board—its headings and sub headings, summaries of each section (except the bibliography), and illustrations with captions of technology and/or graphs.
• I am excited to listen to the students’ songs of the Old Testament’s Ten Commandments this week.

Greetings to CCA 5^th Grade!

• Terra Nova testing was smooth sailing.  The students diligently answered each question to assess their understanding of each subject.
• Parent-teacher conferences were a blessing.  I truly enjoyed meeting each parent to share and witness each child’s maturity and growth throughout the school year spiritually, behaviorally, and academically in Christ—just phenomenal.   
• Thank you for visiting the book fair to get a bracelet and/or books.  We love to read in Mrs. Chang’s class.
