Parents –

 

Good morning! Here are the highlights of this email:

 

·        Symphony field trip Friday, we leave at 10:30 and return at 1:30.

·        Rock Eagle permission forms (and first payment of $59) due November 11. Forms Attached and on website.

·        Thanksgiving lunch for 5^th is Friday, November 13 from 12:15 until 12:50. Lunch for guests is $3.50.

 

That covers the important info. In class here's what we're working on:

 

Reading: Finishing The Giver today, will move to Gathering Blue next. I'll continue to model reading skills while reading and we'll work on skills through our reflections.

 

Writing: Informational writing, using details to support ideas. Narrative writing, using details.

 

Math: Finishing dividing with decimals. Start on fractions next week. Kids should be working on IXL at home.

 

Social Studies: Finishing our Changing Nation unit next week.

 

Science: Finished Matter unit, will start Electricity and Magnetism next week.

 

I've encouraged the kids to continually check the grades online. With the large number of graded assignments, I'm entering as quickly as I can. If there's a "0," I do not have the assignment. If they believe they've completed it, they need to see me ASAP so we can find it together. I try to put comments online and/or on their papers so they understand how the work is graded. If it's submitted via Office 365, I've made comments (sometimes just "Good Job" but also grades). To see the comments, click "Review" on Word or "Comments" on PowerPoint to view the comments.

 

Thanks and please let me know if you have any questions.
