Hello!
The kids worked hard last week. We are still trying to meet deadlines and we are making progress.
Having said that, we started off our day going over missing work. Lots of kids seemed surprised that they had missing work. Most kids worked throughout the day, including recess, to complete the work.
We are off! We are working on spelling the days and months correctly in fifth grade. About 5/8 of the class have been spelling them incorrectly. This is must for grade 5. We are also doing UNIT 3 in vocabulary. These words should be more challenging than the days and months. Vocabulary is to be handed in on THURSDAY!
We are wrapping up our unit test in math- one more day and then we move on! Some really great math thinking going on.
We are moving into a project and reasearch on biomes. The kids have a reading and questions due for Wed.
HOMEWORK CLUB IS THURSDAY 3:00-5:00!!!!!!!
Thanks for all you do!

Thanks to all of the families that donated items. The kids had a nice day. We started it off with a poetry slam. We then watched a movie. We did attempt to play games outside, but the weather was not being coperative .
The kids will be traveling to other rooms for literacy. We will have news program and spelling next week. We are hoping to start reviewing for an upcoming math assessment next week.

The fifth grade independent reading project and questions are due on the 30th of October.
The brochure for Mrs. Maynard is also due on the 30th of October. The students worked on these in class and are to finish them at home.
The first couple of independent projects may be a little bumpy. The students are developing the skills they need to be successful. We need to guide them and make them more responsible. They will be staying in at recess, taking work home or staying after school to complete assignments that are late or missing.
I am trying to schedule the homework club. I should have a few dates by Wed.

Hello!
We have a short week. We are working on vocabulary words and science. I have a bit of bad news. Many fifth graders have not retained their multiplication facts. Mrs. Trudo and I have decided that the mulipication facts must be practiced at home. There is a notice about the students that need this practice and cards to help. The students that have mastered the facts will be doing challenge work with Mrs. Trudo. As our hope is to introduce challenge work to all, we are all not there yet. We need basic computation to move forward. Please help you child be successful and practice facts with them.
Harvest Celebration is on Wednesday.
