The week we come back from break we will continue our vocabulary routines, although our vocabulary will be a review of the first 12 prefixes and roots. Students will still need to write sentences and answer vocabulary questions on Edmodo, but it will be slightly different as these assignments will cover a sampling from all 12 weeks. Resources to review the prefixes and roots can be found on Edmodo or by clicking here.  Students will receive a new literacy checklist to keep track of assignments on Monday.  This should be taped in students’ assignment notebooks or can be found here.

Students with numbers 11-20  have their seventh Vlog on SeeSaw due Friday, January 10th.   Students with numbers 1-10 have their seventh reading response on Google Classroom due on Friday, January 10th.

***There will be no reading logs or vlogs due over the Winter Break. 

We’re continuing to work on our Revolutionary War novels.  Students have had some time in class to get started on their assignments; anything not finished in class should be completed at home by the due date.  Due dates and assignments can be found inside students’ folders or here. Due dates will vary by groups, so be sure to remind your student to check Edmodo to ensure he/she is staying on top of the work. In addition to their assigned chapters, students will fill out this sheet each week. There is no extra assignment due over break, but students should be ready to meet on their regularly scheduled day (even Monday Jan 6th for Toliver) when we return. 


If you have not already filled out the preference form for your child’s spring conference, here is the link to the form. The deadline to submit a preference is today (December 20).


CogAT reports were sent home with students on Thursday.  If you did not receive your report or if you have questions, please let me know.


Have a wonderful Holiday break and a Happy New Year!

10 Days of Kindness continues next week. The activities for each day can be found here or on a sheet that was sent home last week.  A number of students have not yet received anything from their secret buddy. I've surveyed the class twice, and the overwhelming majority of students want to continue 10 Days of Kindness. If you're able to provide a quick reminder at home, as well, perhaps that would ensure all students feel some extra kindness this coming week. Please DO NOT buy anything for the last day. If your student doesn’t have any books he/she is done with at home, a selection can be chosen from our classroom library.  Just let me know if your student would like to “shop” in the classroom.

Please return the permission slip so that your child may watch A Christmas Story on Friday.

Please remember to sign and return your student’s Friday folder each week.  Papers in the pockets of the Friday folder can be left at home.

***Friday, December 20, will be A Christmas Story, PJ Day and Winter Wonderland!***

Fifth grade classes had Robert Crown presentations Thursday. Students will be completing a post-activity assignment in class this week. Here is a letter from Robert Crown about the information covered during the  pre-learning and in-class sessions. We encourage you to talk with your child at home about what they learned.
