I hope you had a great weekend! Here are some updates for this week:
- We will continue our vocabulary and grammar routines next week and following a typical weekly schedule.
Monday- Grammar and vocabulary introduced in class and assigned
Tuesday- Vocabulary sentences due on Edmodo
Thursday- Vocabulary assignment on Edmodo due, grammar packet due
Friday- Vocabulary and grammar quizzes
- Students in Advanced Math will have the Unit 8 test on Tuesday. There is a practice test on the Advanced Math page on Edmodo.
- IAR testing continues next week. This replaces PARCC testing. Students may not wear smartwatches during the testing, so if your student typically wears one, please encourage him or her to leave it at home on testing days. The schedule for 5th grade testing next week is as follows:
April 8, April 9- Reading Assessment (1:15-3:00)
If you’re able to schedule absences around these times, that would be great!
- Vlogs for students 1-12 will be due on Friday, April 12th. The directions, topic choices, and rubric for assessing them can be found here.
- On April 10th, our class will attend a kick-off presentation of our Fifth Grade Service Project! A representative from the Animal House Shelter plans to bring a golden retriever dog to Dryden. The students will not be in contact with the dog. The dog may shed, so we wanted to confirm students’ ability to participate due to possible allergies or otherwise. This presentation will take place in the courtyard, and we can have a special seating area farther away from the dog if that would be helpful.
Please let me know if your child is NOT able to participate, or if your child may participate as long as they are seated far from the dog.
- World of Work permission slips were sent home Friday. Please return those permission slips as soon as possible. Be sure to indicate your child’s preference for lunch that day on the form. If you are able to chaperone, please let us know on the permission slip, as well. This field trip requires many chaperones, so all available volunteers will be invited to chaperone.
- Spring is a busy time for 5th grade! Here are some upcoming events to note:
