A Peek at What We are Doing in Fifth Grade

Did everyone enjoy the beautiful weather on their day off?  I spent the day completing report grades, but took a few hours off to enjoy the new movie Wonder with our book club students.

You should be receiving an email soon about a Parent Survey in which you can give feedback on your child’s teacher, me.  I know that we all have busy lives so I wanted to let you know that I value your feedback and would appreciate it if you would completed it.

Since the beginning of the year, your child has been, hopefully, saving up the ROAR tickets that he or she has been receiving for showing ROAR in fifth grade.  Today, the students were able to use those tickets to purchase their choice of free time this afternoon.

We celebrated another birthday today.  You can find Alex H. and Ben’s “Who Knew” on our homeroom blog.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving Break.

Students have been doing a great job showing ROAR in specials.  On Wednesday, they surpassed 200 points earning them an “Everything Day” which we celebrated this afternoon.  

Thank you to everyone who helped with the Halloween party by either donating supplies, helping to set up, clean up, or running a game.  The kids had a good time.  I’ve posted a few pictures from our afternoon on our blog.

The students don’t have school on Friday, November 17th  to allow the teachers to get report cards completed.  Your child’s report card will come home on Monday, November 27th.
