Where did Quarter 2 go??

This is our last week of the 2nd quarter and the last week before Christmas break.

JUST A REMINDER: There will be NO SCHOOL from December 21st-Dec 31st due to Christmas break. All students and teachers will return on January 4th, 2016.

Here is what 5th grade will be doing this week.

Reading: We will continue our short narrative and expository book club in our Daily 3.

4th and 5th grade Writing: We will continue to work on our Smarter Balance practice and review.

Matter Presentations: Students will present their science projects on Monday and Tuesday. We will start a new project after we come back on the 4th.

Don't Forget: We will be walking to the movie theatres on Thursday. We will leave about 12:15. Students will eat their lunch before we leave. All students need $6 for a small popcorn and a drink. PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY MORE MONEY WITH YOUR CHILD, THEY ARE ONLY TO GET A SMALL POPCORN AND A SMALL DRINK. We will return right after the movie is over. At this time we do not need any chaperones. Also, IF YOU DECIDE TO OPT YOUR CHILD OUT OF THIS MOVIE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO WE CAN MAKE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS FOR THEM.

I hope everyone has a FaBuLoUs Christmas!

Reading: We will continue to read small expository and narrative books in our groups, while also continuing on with our Daily 3 Reading Program. We will continue this until Christmas break.

4th and 5th Grade Writing: We will start reading and analyzing two different reading passages. This will be the start of our practicing for the Smarter Balance Testing which will be given in the spring. We will work on this a lot more after Christmas break.

Projects: We started our new "Matter Science Project." All students should have come home with a supply list. We need these supplies as soon as possible so that students can practice their experiments and be ready to present to the class on Thursday.

Auctions: As a class, the students voted on a new way to do auctions. They decided they wanted to make their own products and sell to each other using the class "Mac Bucks." Please let me know if you have any questions on this.
JUST A REMINDER: NO FOOD CAN BE SOLD AT AUCTIONS.

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend! :)
