Hello, students and parents.
I am excited about meeting you on registration day and am looking forward to a
wonderful year working with you! I hope you will visit our web site often in
order to stay informed about what is happening in our class.
Make
sure you go over the student handbook. There are some changes every year. A new
system Wellness Policy is being implemented this year.
As
you can see from the schedule, fifth graders have a morning break in the
cafeteria. Students may bring a healthy snack and/or drink (no glass or cans).
Please review the Wellness Policy in the handbook. Our lunch will be at
A
very important means of communication between school and home is the yellow
folder which will be sent home on Mondays. Graded work from the previous week
will be included in this folder as well as newsletters, handouts, etc. There
will be a place for parents to sign and comment on folder work. The signed
folder is to be returned to school on Tuesday.
It
is essential that each student complete daily assignments. I will provide an
agenda folder in which students will be required to record homework. Parents
should expect to see the agenda at home each night. Parents may also check this
web site for my daily homework assignments. Remember that some of my students
have another teacher for math. I plan to update these assignments every
afternoon.
Textbooks
are very expensive, so students must take proper care of them. I suggest that
students cover all texts with fabric covers or covers made from brown grocery
bags (no adhesive covers).
Our
school will continue to collect Box Tops for Education, Tyson labels, and
On
registration day, I gave each parent a questionnaire to fill out. Remember to
return these as soon as possible.
Aug. 14
Students
are bringing home the yellow folder for the first time today. Please review the
work inside, sign and date the form attached to the folder, and return the
folder to school tomorrow. Fourth grade CRCT results are included in
today’s folder. Keep this information for future reference.
I
am sending home Scholastic book orders today. They will be due next Wed. I
offer these to the students who are interested in ordering books. If you would
like to purchase books, please send me the completed order form and check or
cash in a labeled envelope.
Some
students are still having difficulty remembering to get the agenda and reading
log signed nightly. Please encourage them to bring this home daily. Assignments
are written on the board for students to copy.

Notes: Each fifth grader will be required to read four chapter books each nine weeks. Students should read nightly in order to complete this requirement by the end of the nine weeks. Fifth graders are required to spend 30 minutes of outside reading five nights a week. This reading should be documented on the Reading Log which should be signed by parents nightly. At midterm, students should have completed two of the four books and related reports.
Skill work will be assigned on Monday and will be due each Thursday. We are working on vocabulary skills.
At least 2 of the chapter books required for outside reading should be read by midterm. Book reports and/or AR tests for these 2 books must also be completed.
We are finishing the novel Number the Stars.
