Friday!

Next week we will be taking the Montcas test. It is very important that students do their best to be prepared for these tests. Students can bring healthy snacks to school and a water bottle if they want. They need to have a nutritious breakfast and get a good night's sleep. They may also bring gum to chew if they wish. Due to the testing next week I will not be giving any homework and we are taking a week off from the Reading Logs.

Our Reading Sock Hop is planned for next Friday if we reach our goals. More information will be going home on Monday.

Have a great weekend! I hope we continue to see lots of sunshine!

Wednesday

Our class is piloting a new program in our school called Success Maker. This is a computerized math program that we are using for enrichment. It will place students at their level and then continue to challenge them with math activities. We will be on the computers at least 3-4 days a week. There is sound with this program, so if students could bring a pair of headphones to school that would help. Most 5th graders have them as it was on their supply list. Friday is International Stood Up Day! We will wear our pink t-shirts that day. Progress reports went home today in the Wednesday envelopes. Don't forget early dismissal on Friday. Next week we will be taking the Montcas tests.

We planned our Valentine Party today. Our class voted to have a Friendship Ice Cream Sundae Bar. Everyone is volunteering to bring something to contribute to the party. A list will go home tomorrow for parent approval. I will also be sending home a class list to help with completing valentines.

We had our spelling bee test today. The students will find out tomorrow who will be participating in the school spelling bee. I applaud each student who tried out for it. Tomorrow is "Hats for Haiti" day. Students can bring a quarter to donate to the people in Haiti, and wear their hat all day in school.

Don't forget to turn in reading logs tomorrow.

Wednesday

February is here and we are busy! Monday we had our Annual Sock Hop Kick-off! This is a fun way to celebrate reading. Our "wing" has a goal of 2000 pts. to earn the Sock Hop. Each student has an individual goal of 10 pts. They are excited and it is so much fun to celebrate reading together.

6th grade students have the opportunity to correct up their math test. Parents need to sign it and it needs to be returned by Friday.

Progress reports went home today. Book orders also went home and are due next Friday. Next Friday will be our Valentines Party. Our class voted to have a Friendship Ice Cream Sundae bar. Each student can sign up to bring an item to contribute. More information will follow. They will be making their Valentine Box at home and can bring these to school next week.

This Friday is another "Hats for Haiti" Day. What a fun and easy way to help the people of Haiti.

Have a great evening!
