I hope everyone was able to enjoy the extended weekend.Writing - We are working on a short biography that is due this Friday. The students will need to do some research at home as well as work on it at school. They are to present it to the class in whatever creative way they would like. They should be sure to get their idea ok'd with me. Students are also working on their end of the year speeches. This speech should be about 1 minute long and include thoughts and memories of the school year.
Lost items - Now is the time to begin looking for lost items, both at school and at home. We have an extensive lost and found located in front of the main office. There are many items there that will be donated should they not be claimed by the end of the year. The office even has eye glasses! Please remind your child to look for anything.
If your child has any books at home that belong to the school or any of the fifth grade teachers (either pink tape on the spine or a teacher's name inside or on the end) please send these home. The classroom books are usually purchased with our own money and it's great to have a full library for the following year.
Math - The students will continue to work on math through the end of the year. Each student will be focusing on his or her particular area(s) of need. Please support your child completing any work during this busy time of year.
Field trip forms - I will be sending home a packet with 3 field trip forms included. This will cover our activities from Monday - Wednesday the final week of school. Please be sure to keep notes about what is needed for each trip (sack lunch, money, swim suits, sunscreen, etc.).
