Spirit Stick

Our class won the spirit stick this week for 100% blue and gold on Friday! Please don't forget SEP Parent Conferences on Wednesday and Thursday. Reminder notices will be going home Monday with the weekly newsletter. Spelling tests from Friday will also be sent home on the weekly newsletter each week. Thanks for all you do.

We had a great first week! This is a very impressive 5th grade class.
Just for your information:
The Online Scheduler should be up in a few days for you to make your SEP appointments. Those of you that signed up at the open house have already been put into the Online Scheduler. Homework packets will come home every Monday and work should be returned by Thursday. Students should read for at least 20 minutes daily and should study the spelling list for the test on Friday. If all the multiplication facts have not been mastered, nightly practice with those would be beneficial. Any assignments not finished in class should be taken home and finished as homework.

Welcome Back!!!

Parent Letter

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to fifth grade! I am so excited to start a new year!

As you prepare for your child’s new school year please consider these items:

1. Colored pencils, crayons, notebooks, glue, scissors, rulers, pencils and pencil boxes will be provided.

2. Please do not bring pencil sharpeners, ink pens, gel pens, markers, or crayons.

3. Do not allow your child to bring items to school that can be lost, broken or cause problems in class, such as toys, games, valuable items, iPods, or cell phones.

(Cells phones may be kept in back pack and turned off)

4. Because of limited desk space, please do not send big binders to school.

5. Every student should have a backpack to put his or her homework assignments in. If you have trouble getting a backpack let me know.

6. Please encourage your child to review and memorize all the times tables 0-12 before school starts. (This should be a review from 3^rd grade)

7. Please encourage your child to read at least 20 minutes each day during the remainder of the summer.

Back to School Open House will be on Friday, August 12 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 Noon. There will be a parent meeting at 10:30 AM.

Some parents like to have a list of items that they can donate to the class when they are able to. The items we most need and use in class are:

Tissues, hand sanitizer, #2 pencils, glue sticks

We can use these items anytime during the year and appreciate your donations throughout the year.
