5TH GRADE NEWSLETTER 

        

    February 14th was a day packed full of activities. From our

class parties, to an early morning assembly, to our Worker’s Holiday

games, the day was buzzing, but the best sight to see was the HUGE

line of kids and loved ones lined up to attend Doughnuts with Dads!

At one point, the line was wrapped halfway around the parking lot.

Thank you for supporting such a great event for our students!

  Our last Worker’s Holiday was great fun, however we did

have a handful of students who did not qualify. The end of

quarter three is fast approaching, so please make sure you

are checking your child’s grades often and helping them set

goals to qualify for the next Worker’s Holiday. We are

continually encouraging students to stay on top of their work,

and of course,

we are always willing to help students understand assignments

if they need some extra guidance. We also continue to provide

extra study time on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons

for those that are falling behind, just need a little

extra help, or want to improve on specific assignments.

Our Famous Americans list will be sent home today.

Please look over the list with your child and help him or her

choose several people they are interested in learning more

about and who they would also like to “become” for a day.

Keep in mind that we help students choose fairly, but your child

may not get one of his or her first choices. This is the first

step in our preparations for the end of year program and it’s

a day full of excitement and fun.   

Our annual 5th Grade Science Day will be held on March 31st.

This is a day where students will share their projects with other

students and parents, however, there will be no judges or winners.

Students may complete an experiment, an engineering project,

or a research paper to present. Please refer to the information

and registration papers sent home today for further details.

Registration forms are due on Friday, March 6th. 

The next grade print out and blog up-date will be on

Wednesday, March 11th and will include more information

5TH GRADE NEWSLETTER 

        

    Thank you for meeting with us last week.  We look forward to seeing
the continued good work, and also for the improvements that we discussed.
Please, also help your child wear appropriate clothing according to weather
conditions.  We do go outside almost every day.
Please record students’ reading for the Lion’s Kite Flight for Reading.
Students can take their reading charts to the kite festival on
Saturday, April 25, where they will exchange their chart
for a kite or book.  Our school will get money depending on the
time students read. This is not additional reading, just the
nightly reading that is already required. 

Students will bring their own Valentine container from home.
Students need to bring a Valentine for all students in their class,
if they choose to bring them.
STUDENTS MAY NOT BRING IN A “SPECIAL” VALENTINE FOR ONE PERSON,
as that would need to take place outside of school. Each teacher
has given specific instructions to their class concerning Valentine’s Day.
Valentine activities will take place in the morning.

Worker’s Holiday will be in the afternoon on Friday, February 14
(Valentine’s Day). Students must have all missing work in
tomorrow, Thursday, February 13, with an 80% overall score to earn
Worker’s Holiday. We will be having a game day. Students will bring in
games from home,(Uno, Monopoly, Apples to Apples, etc…) to play with
other students. Students may wear PJ’s to school if they want.

The next grade print out and blog up-date will be
on Wed., Feb. 26.

February 17 (Monday)--President’s Day--no school 

      

       Remember to sign the verification slip and send it back to school. 
We appreciate your continued support. We are all in on this together!

     Sincerely, Mrs.Williams, Mrs. Little, and Mrs.Sherratt

Fifth Grade Newsletter

For

January 22, 2020

Parents,

     Happy New Year to all of you.  Can you believe we are already half

way through the year?  It is crazy how fast time flies.

     We want to remind you of SEP’s coming up in two weeks. 

They will be held the first week of February. Conferences will

start that first Monday, February 3 to Friday, February 7.  Please

look for your scheduled time to come home with your child today, along

with a missing assignment report.   You will be registering your child

for 6th grade during your conference, so please be thinking, along

with your child, whether you want him/her to be in band, orchestra

or art next year.  These classes are the only electives you will need

to choose from. Each of our fifth grade classes will be having the

counselor from the middle school coming into our rooms to talk with

our students this Friday about what to expect for next year. 

The band and orchestra classes from the middle school will be

coming next week to play for us to get kids excited about joining, so

don’t be surprised if your child wants to sign up for band or orchestra next year.

     With Valentine’s Day approaching you should know that each

class will be having their own class parties and will have students

make their own Valentine catcher at home.  All students will need

to make valentines for everyone in their class, if they choose to

bring valentines.  

    The next progress report will be sent home on Wednesday,

February 12th. Please check with  your child daily to make

sure he/she is staying caught up.

     With the cold weather that we have been having lately,

we ask that you make sure your child comes to school dressed

appropriately.  A lot of students come to school in shorts and short

sleeved shirts with no jacket or coat to put on during break, and there are

days that they are required to go outside for a break and they can get really

cold.  This of course brings on sickness, which eventually is spread throughout

the classroom, so please make your child comes dressed in the right attire. 

     We appreciate all your help and support.

                                                                    Sincerely,

                

                                                                    Mrs. Little, Mrs. Sherratt and Mrs. Williams

treats, but if students want to bring their own 

treat/snack in for the movie, we will be having 

in the afternoon, they are more than welcome to 

do that.

If all continues to go as planned, Mrs. Williams 

will return to her classroom on January 6^th. S

he has missed her students, but they’ve been 

in very good hands and we’ve enjoyed having 

Mrs. Illian on our team.

amount of progress they have made so far this 

year, and we look forward to the wonderful growth 

we’ll continue to see in the new year!

Happy holidays to all,

Mrs. Sherratt Mrs. Little, and Mrs. Illian
