All of our Castlemont fifth grade classes are selling breakfast drinks and foods before school in several locations throughout our campus. Students prepared for their fundraiser in their math classes using ratios and estimates. Classes decided to donate their profits to the Bill Wilson Center, a children's cancer research charity, and our own Digital Dragons program.

Dear Castlemont Families,
This time of year lends itself to reflection and gratitude. Having spent the first half of the school year as a new member of the Castlemont team, I am grateful for many things--the creative, smart and infinitely funny children I get to spend time with daily; a staff of brilliant, dedicated professionals who consistently do more than is required of them throughout our school; and our wonderful families who support all of us in a multitude of ways. As 2019 comes to an end, please know that you are all greatly appreciated, and I look forward to 2020 with enthusiasm and optimism.
Yours sincerely,
Kristen Kimoto Prindle

As a reminder, as you may want to make room for newly aquired items during the holiday break. Remember that a great spot to drop off those old items is our very own Castlemont Clothes Bin located just outside the office. All proceeds from these collections go back to our students.
The Castlemont HSC also wishes you a safe and happy break and look forward to seeing you at our next meeting January 7, 2020!

This week we are featuring learning in Ms. Iyama's fifth grade and Mrs. Biggs' fourth grade classrooms. Ms. Iyama's students were putting their critical thinking and decimal subtraction skills to the test in their "How Much Change" lesson. Mrs. Biggs' students were practicing higher level thinking in their Harry Potter figurative language activity. It is wonderful to see our students collaborating and learning together!
