A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade


It’s been another wonderful week in fifth grade.  The kids worked hard taking the Reading and Math MAPS test.  The entire fifth grade team is so proud of their test taking strategies and the effort given by each student.  
Just a reminder that next Thursday in the flexroom from 6 to 7 is the Eco Week Parent meeting.  If this is your family’s first child attending Eco Week, please attend this important meeting.  We’ll be giving tips for packing, describing our days and nights, and answering any questions.
The kids have been walking laps and earning sticks before school and at recess in preparation for Eco Week. This is a great opportunity to break in new hiking boots or check that old hiking boots still fit. Ask your child if he or she has been completing his or her activity Log.  The number of sticks each student collects and their activity log will be used to help select students for the hikes at Eco Week.  
If you would like to help with the All-Fifth grade Halloween party, there is a planning meeting on Thursday, September 29th at 3:40 in Mrs. Oster’s room.  If you’d like to help, but can’t make the meeting, send me an email and I’ll put you on the list of parents to contact.
Have a wonderful weekend.
