Every Friday students will be blogging about their week in 5V. I'm hoping this will be a chance for families to get a glimpse of what's happening in 5V from the student's perspective and an opportunity to engage in conversations- either on the blog or at home. I encourage you to comment on your child's weekly reflections as often as you'd like and I invite you to share the link with your extended family! The students love getting comments on their posts.
