Wow! Lots and Lots of rain!
We had a great Monday. The mousetrap cars were exciting. One broke, one didn't go the length of a meter stick, one went nine meters and all the others fell somewhere in between. Some kids want to make some changes to their cars and I am fine with that. Have them ready for Wednesday!
Spelling words this week- double consonant words- due Friday
Math - for both fifth( due Friday) and sixth grade (due Thursday)
Sixth grade mousetrap cars are due TOMORROW!!!!!!!
Grade 5- literature project and questions are due on FRIDAY!!!
Science for both grades- bring in a marble or two for Wednesday and Thursday of this week.
The kids are making huge gains in fifth-grade. I am very pleased with the motivation to complete tasks, projects, and assignments. Less kids complaining. Less kids electing not to do assignments ( I decided that I didn't want to do that paper). Less kids forgetting or blaming it on their parents( did you know that you take your child's work and forget to give it back???) Thank you for checking the assignment pads and keeping them on track at home. I know it is hard but it makes all the difference in the world. Learning never stops.
Let's keep them moving forward and checking off the profiles. We need to get those checked off- that means we are prepared for grade 6!!!
I heard that NECAPS will be here SOON!!!
Thanks for all you do. Stay dry!

Hello,
Sorry this is a late post. I have been baking for our bake sale on Wednesday. I hope that everyone is up for making something. The kids are looking forward to this event. Thanks for making it happen.
We have a busy week ahead of us. The kids have two items due for MONDAY- monthly reading project and the mousetrap car. A few kids have these assignments completed- way to go.
The kids have math homework for Thursday- this will go home on Tuesday. It is a few 1 minute timings and two vocab. pages. We have reading comprehensions and a Martin Luther King, Jr. activity this week in place of spelling/vocabulary. We return to spelling next week.
I will be giving a spelling assessment in the next couple of weeks. I will also be giving a reading assessment to students in my reading group. This data will be available in the next few weeks. I will have this information for the next progress report.
I sent home the new dates for tutoring. There is NO AFTERNOON tutoring on TUESDAY. I will see kids Tuesday and Thursday morning at 7:00.
The fifth-graders did an egg drop today. It was awesome. Ask your kids about this.
The kids have a paper due for Mrs. Maynard this week. It is the third and final draft. They should feel really great about this.

Hello,
The kids were asked to bring in items to build their mousetrap cars or come with them completed. The kids have worked really hard. Some were very successful. Some needed a few changes and a few more need to try again. I am happy that families are really helping out with this project. Mr. Wright helped us out on Friday, thanks. The kids are so excited to be working on this project.
The kids would like to host a bake sale on Wednesday to help the people of Haiti. What a super group of kids. I am hoping that families do not spend more than five dollars making something for this event. I know that cupcakes can get really expensive( fancy wrappers, sprinkles and goo) Please, do not go crazy. Thank you.
See you all on Monday.

HI!
The kids and I had a heart-to-heart about setting goals for themselves. We talked about being prepared for sixth-grade and what that means for them during the next months.
I will be doing assessments in January to measure growth. One is a hand writing assessment. This will help me to determine steps I need to take. I am expecting the kids to work really hard on being ACTIVE LEARNERS and not passive learners. My goal is to prepare the students for sixth-grade. I feel we have made huge gains socially; behaviors, attitudes, etc. but we know must make a move to improve our academics.
My goal is to start sending home PROGRESS UPDATES bi-weekly. I hope this will help the students to meet the standards. I will be looking to families for support. Thank you in advance!
This week's work:
Math work is due on Thursday for both fifth and sixth grade.
Reading 15-25 minutes a night.
Spelling Contracts due Friday.
Continue to check assignment pads. Thanks for all you do! Happy New Decade.
