Monday

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. It is hard to believe that December is here. We will be working on a couple of special projects for our families. The 5th graders do not need to bring any supplies. 6th graders need to bring $1.25 and 2 1/2 yds. of fabric. The students convinced me that they really wanted to do "Secret Santas" this year. We drew names today and will exchange gifts on Dec. 22. A letter went home today with details of the craft projects and the gift exchange.

Mrs. Knutson talked with our class today about empathy. Our class is full of students who show empathy and kindness to each other. Both grades have math homework tonight. Spelling pre-tests should have gone home today. No Reading Log this week. Tomorrow is library. Have a great evening.

Thursday

Tomorrow is Stood Up Day! We will be taking a stand against bullying. Students will receive their pink t-shirts in the morning and there will be an assembly we will attend. Tomorrow is also the last day of our food drive. 5th graders have their Chapter 3 math test tomorrow and all students have their Spelling test. Remember to bring your Reading Logs back tomorrow.

I will not be assigning a Reading Log for next week, due to the short week.
Have a great evening!

Tuesday

The 5th grade math test has been rescheduled for Friday. 6th graders who wanted to correct their math tests need to have them turned in tomorrow. Tomorrow Miss Montana, Annie Anseth will be visiting with our class about her Stood Up! program against bullying. Have a great evening!

Monday

Welcome back to another week! Both grades have math homework tonight. These are review sheets to practice skills they have been taught in the past. 6th graders got their math tests back today. They have the opportunity to correct these up if they choose to do so. They need to have a parent sign the test, and then make their corrections on another sheet of paper. These are due by Wednesday. Unit 10 Spelling Pre-tests should have gone home today. 5th graders are working on their Rock Posters in Science. They will present these to the class on Wednesday.

Our food drive started this week. What a great way to help those in need at this time of year. Have a great evening.

Wednesday

Wonderful Wednesday! 6th grade will have their Chapter 3 math test on Friday. 5th grade will have their math test next week. Both grade levels had spelling homework tonight. 5th grade make sure you are studying your spelling words this week. They are homophones, and they are a little tough. Progress reports went home today. Reading logs will be due on Friday. Have a great evening!

Monday

We are off to another great week! 5th graders reviewed Chapter 3 in Social Studies today. Their test is tomorrow and they will be able to use their book. Both grades took their Unit 9 Spelling Pre-test today. They wrote the words they missed in their planner and the list should have gone home today. We are starting Book Clubs this week. We will be reading the following books: Esperanza Rising, The Egypt Game, and From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Book Orders are due this Friday, November 13th. Have a wonderful evening!

Conferences

Thanks to all parents who came to Parent-Teacher Conferences this week. I enjoyed meeting with you and discussing your wonderful children. It is such a pleasure for me to be your child's teacher. We have a great class full of hard-working, talented students. If you ever have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me. Have a fabulous weekend!

Wednesday

What a nice day to get out of school early! I hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine. 5th graders worked on dividing larger dividends today. If they did not finish page 159 then it was homework. 6th grade worked on improper fractions and mixed numbers. We will finish that assignment in class tomorrow. Tomorrow we have Art.
