Happy Birthday

We celebrated Jackson's birthday by learning a little bit about him. Great job on your Who Knew, Jackson.  Hope you had the best birthday ever.

A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade

Whew! The first few days have just flown by!  If the whole year is like this, it will be spring before we know it.  I have a wonderful group of kids in my class. I think all of the parents out there need to pat themselves on the back. You have done a great job of raising them.

Thanks for being so on task and sending back all the needed forms that went out in the Zach folder.  If you haven’t gone through the folder yet, please sign the necessary forms and send them back to school on Monday. Most of the money for the planners and the Time magazine subscription has been received, but if you haven’t sent it in yet, please do so.

If you were unable to make the Back to School night meeting on Thursday, I put a copy of your child’s student profile in his or her Friday folder.  Please make any changes and sign the last page.  If you could return the form in the Friday folder on Monday, I would appreciate it.

      Just a reminder the Eco Week Parent Meeting is Thursday, September 15th from 6:00 – 7:00 in the cafeteria.  This is a very important meeting, so please plan to attend.

Today, your child is bringing home his or her Friday folder and planner – both will come home at the end of each week.  The Friday folder contains your child’s work from the week as well as any forms, etc. that may need to be complete and returned to school.  In addition, your child has a ROAR Reflection sheet which is stabled in his or her planner. Please take a few minutes to review these with your child then return the folder and planner at the beginning of each new week.

I started a blog this year (https://khalesclass.blogspot.com) that I will use to share pictures from the classroom as well as my newsletter.  I will posting some pictures on twitter @HalesHomeroom.
