We have completed our first quarter.  Parent/Teacher's conference is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 28.  I have appointment reminders in your child's mailbox.  I am looking forward to visiting with you.

I hope the students have shared the study tools that I have introduced to them.  We are now using Socrative to study for Social Studies.  It is a great study tool that allows the students to practice no matter where they go on their ipods or internet capable appliances.  We also are allowed to use Quizlet. In this sight you need to search Harcourt Social Studies 5th grade.  You can search other subjects as well.

Halloween is fast approaching!  Students have had a good time making "Frankenstein" with salt cartons, and spooky shoe boxes.  Thank you for sharing your supplies.  We will soon need light bulbs so please send them to school when they are no longer working.

Wow!  We are clipping through the year!

Our state reports are complete and the students did a wonderful job.  We know how to gather information, use topic sentences and organize our paragraphs to put our information in order.  The projects will be displayed over conferences.  I have pictures to show presentations.

 

 

 

 

The Homecoming parade was a blast! Candy came home equally divided among the fifth graders.

October is here.  Salt containers are needed!

 

State projects are due anytime they are completed.  I would like to begin presentations on the 13th.

We do not have school on the 16th or 17th due to Instructional Conference for Educators.

 

Keep an eye out for information on Parent/Teacher's conferences.  I sent home summaries of student performance last week.  I hope you found these helpful.
