Due to the numerous snow days that we have had, the District calendar has been amended. Please note that Casimir Pulaski Day, Monday, March 3rd will now be a day of student attendance rather than a school holiday.

Starting February 1st, Red Bud CUSD will implement an option for inclement weather: a one hour delayed start.The following attachment is a link to the guidelines that will be in place if and when those days are used.

Mrs. Roehrkasse's Class Visits 

Cahokia Mounds!

Aren't we a fine looking bunch!  It seems to me that everyone in our class is doing their best to "strike a pose" in this photo.  Despite the dreary day, we really enjoyed our day away from the classroom.  To quote Jeffery, "BEST FIELD TRIP EVER!"

Time for Back to School!

Yes, it certainly is that time of the year.  The time when we say good bye to staying up late and sleeping until noon.  The time when we say good bye to those thoughts of travel and family vacations.  My wish is that you truly enjoyed your summer vacation.  Pictured above is a photo from my summer trip away from home.  My family rented a beach house at Virginia Beach.  What a lovely ten days we had!

Hippo Hippo Hurray...school's out!

Have a safe and fun summer!

(Yes, I know...that's NOT a hippo!)

This week in Five 3!

     Christmas is done, and we are back to school!  This year seems to be flying by, don't you think?

     The middle of winter brings so many lessons to be learned in fifth grade.  Our math lessons center around decimals - everything you EVER wanted to know about decimals!  Right now in our Language Arts classes we are working with verbs.  Ask your fifth grader to show you their Verb Poem.  I am so pleased with the way these turned out.  They are displayed on our lockers right now, but will be returned soon.  Speaking of items being returned soon, the research report, which we labored on for so long, will be in the Monday Mail in a couple weeks.  They look so sharp on our lockers that I'm NOT wanting to take them down!  We have received many compliments on them from all who walk by.

     What made you smile this week?  For me, it was Chase's Verb Poem.  It was the lovely, hand-written thank you card from Calyn. It was the beautifully drawn picture from Anna and the color page from Savannah.

Stay well and stay warm,

Mrs. Roehrkasse
