3rd week

Things are rolling in 5th grade! We have been practicing and practicing our routines and procedures and everyday it gets better:)

In Writing we are going over the 6 traits of Writing to introduce and review before we start Writing.  In Projects, we started a new project where the students had to pick a President, a US Supreme Court Justice, or a congressperson. The rest of this week, we will work on researching about these people, their position, and their responsibilities. Students will present next Thursday. In Reading, we have been reviewing and learning the routines and procedures for Daily 5 and have introduced a few reading strategies.

A couple reminders, your child should have brought a new Spelling List home last night. That test will be on Thursday. Also, Parent Journals will come home on Thursday and are due back on Monday morning.

I hope everyone has a great week! 

Spelling Test

Hello All!
Your child should come home tonight with a Spelling List. They will have a new list every Monday and will be tested on 10 of those words every Thursday. They will have at least twice a week to study for 10-20 minutes in class.

Thanks!
Mrs. McElhannon

The First Week is almost here!

The first week is approaching fast! I wanted to let you all know ahead of time that your child will be bringing home a blue binder on the first day of school. It will need to be brought back and forth to school each day! This will be their binder they will be using for all subjects.

In the binder, there will be forms that need to be taken out of the binder on Monday night. These forms will need to be filled out, but we are asking that you wait and bring them in on Thursday night at Back To School Night. We are going to have an organized system in which the forms will be turned in that night. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

I am looking forward to a great school year! :)
