Happy Birthday
We celebrated two birthdays this week. Happy Birthday Zaelyn & Abby. It was great learning more about you through your "Who Knew." Hope your birthday was the best.
Google Goggles
We really enjoyed our visit from Mr. McBride and Mrs. Donahue from the PSD Tech team. We learned to use Google goggles to look at 360 images of important places - like our classroom.
Band aids
On Monday morning, I gave all the students a band aid for their elbows. Ask your child why?

A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade
Wow! It’s been another great week. This group of students is amazing. They are doing such a good job in Specials earning a 5 star day everyday this year.
Please make note that Wednesday is picture day. It feels like it is soon this year. Since the fifth graders have the highest likelihood of staying clean through lunch, fifth grade often has their pictures taken after lunch. This year we are scheduled to go at 1:50.
Thank you to all the parents who said they were available to volunteer this year. I will contact those who volunteered for Friday Folders, clerical work, and Eco week shirts by Friday next week.
In yesterday’s Friday Folder you will find a Scholastic Book order. I provide this opportunity to my students as Scholastic usually has the books the students are interested in reading and they are usually fairly inexpensive. If you’d like to place an order, please do so before Friday. You may order online (the code is on the top book order) or send it in with your child.
Please note that our Collaboration Day/ No School is Friday, September 23rd. It was incorrect on the last newsletter.
I have included a few pictures on our blog of birthdays and some of the fun things we’ve been doing in fifth grade. You can view it at https://khalesclass.blogspot.com.
Enjoy your labor day weekend.

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.
