Jack,
Veteran's Day is celebrated on November 11th because on November 11, 1918 (the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month) World War I ended. People thought that it was the war to end all wars so it became known as Armistice Day. Unfortunately, war broke out in 1939 and shattered that dream. Armistice Day was changed to Veteran's Day to honor all soldiers who have served in the military. Have a great holiday and do something nice for a vet.

Homework Postings

Welcome to 5th Grade! This year I would like to post all of the 5th grade homework on-line. I realize that sometimes homework calendars don't make it home, or they are not completely filled out. In order to make it easier for parents, and successful for students, homework will be posted on this site.

Thanks for all of your continued support. I am looking forward to a great year!
