Lynchsters Mr. Lynch's 5th Grade Class 

There is a half day on Friday due to teacher professional development in the afternoon. This half day leads right into the week off for April vacation.

The American Revolution speeches are this week. I e-mailed parents and students a list of all the speech days/times, which are on Wednesday or Thursday. Parent/Guardians will be invited to come watch their child’s speech.

Upcoming Events

April Vacation – April 9-13

Nathan Hale Homestead trip – Friday, May 18

Last Day of School – Tuesday, June 19 (w/six snow days)

There is no school on Friday in honor of Good Friday.

The American Revolution speeches are next week. I e-mailed parents and students a list of all the speech days/times. Students were introduced to the American Revolution Famous Person Speech about a month ago. After a lot of research and learning how to write a speech, last week they started writing the actual speech. Mr. Spencer came in last week to talk to the class about public speaking, and this week I have two more adult guest speakers coming in to talk to students about public speaking.

Each student was assigned a famous person from the American Revolution time period. If they didn’t like the person they were assigned they were able to change him/her, but it is now too late to make any changes. Each student will dress up as, and give a 3-5 minute speech as the historical figure. Speeches are on Wednesday, April 4 and Thursday, April 5. Parent/Guardians will be invited to come watch their child’s speech.
