What's going on in class?

We have started studying about the American Colonies. We have many fun activities planned including our first guest speaker on the Dutch Colonies. We will conclude with our Colonial Days on Tuesday November 23rd - this is always a great way for the students to get a feel for colonial life.

In Math we have been working on geometry. Please ask your student about triangles or quadrilaterals and see "who's smarter than a 5th grader!" We are having a Math Unit Test on November 5th which will cover everything that we have studied so far this year. Students who have done poorly on any of the math assignments for Term 1 are welcome to redo them for a better score. Just make sure that you get them in before Oct. 29th!!

We will also be having a Disability Awareness Assembly, provided by the District, on Tuesday November 2nd. This assembly provides a chance for the 5th graders to experience what it may be like to have a disability. We are looking for some parent volunteer's for the morning between 9-11:30am. If you are able to help, please send a note to school with your student.

Lastly, we are reading the book "The Witches", by Roald Dahl, as a class to get us in the Halloween mood. Also, come see our "spook alley" display case in the main hallway with all of our fun Halloween art projects!

End of Term 1

Hello Parents~

We are slowly coming to the close of our first term, which ends on November 4th. We are sending home a missing assignments report so that the students can complete any assignments that are still missing. These assignments will need to be turned in no later than Friday October 29th, ALONG WITH THEIR MISSING ASSIGNMENT REPORT SIGNED BY A PARENT. Parent teacher conferences will be on November 10th & 11th.
