Week 25 - February 17 - 21
Science Fair - Boards and projects from all fifth graders are due on Wednesday, February 19th. If your child wants to bring his or her project in on Tuesday we can store it in the classroom.
Math Unit 4 - Most students finished the assessment on Friday. You should see your child's test on Monday or Tuesday. We will be starting Unit 5 on Monday, February 17th. A family letter will come home.
Valentine's Day - The kids did a great job being patient throughout the day and sharing their treats at the end of the day. Thanks to Dylan's mom for bringing in a special drink for all the class to kick off the day!
Reading - All students should continue to read at least 20 minutes a night. It's a great way to settle down before going to bed! The students have been going through guided reading books and Newsela articles in class. We will be doing some work with specific strategy groups in the next couple of weeks before we begin the next books.
The students did a great job with our last "Flashlight Friday"! We will be sure to do this again next month. March is reading month and there will be some special activities planned for that.

Week 20 - January 13 - 17
Winter is coming... survival that is!
Friday, January 17 is winter survival day. By now you should have gotten a paper that has information about what your child has agreed to bring for his or her group. Please let me know if you have any issues with the menu for your child's group. I also sent home a paper that explains in detail what the students will be doing the day of winter survival. This trip takes place from 9:30 - 2:00'ish. The students will come home smelling like a camp fire! Please do not send them in special clothing that cannot be thrown into the washing machine!
Math: We are finishing up Unit 3 and will be taking the end of unit test by Wednesday. Your child can prepare by making sure to complete all math pages in the unit, asking questions in class, staying in at lunch for additional help (I am available every day at lunch to help students), and working on Dreambox to support the skills that may be helpful.
NO SCHOOL MONDAY, JANUARY 20TH - MLK JR. DAY
NWEA Testing: Thursday, January 16th - Math (afternoon); Tuesday, January 21 - Reading (morning)
