Due to the days off this past week, we will not have grammar or vocabulary again this coming week in an attempt to catch up with other curriculum areas. The revised schedule of upcoming assessments can be found here.
Students with numbers 1-12 have their next Vlog due on Friday, February 8. The directions, topic choices, and rubric for assessing them can be found here.
Next Friday, February 8th, the students will take a novel test for the Revolutionary War novel they are now completing. We review the study guide and meet in groups one more time next week in preparation. This will be an open book test and students may use their packets and notes from novel group meetings (study guides may not be used on the test). Students should be sure to review their notes and study guide prior to the test to ensure they can use their test time effectively and efficiently.
Global School Play Day is Wednesday, February 6. Details from Mrs. Wasik can be found here. Students are encouraged to bring games to play together during our designated play time. Nothing electronic may be brought in. Our class will be playing Wednesday morning.
We’re excited to head to the North Light Theater to see the play Tired Souls on Thursday, February 7. We will be leaving school by 11:00 am. As a result, we will be eating an early lunch. If your student did not order a sack lunch from food services, please be sure your student brings a lunch from home that day. The lunch does not need to be completely disposable as we will be eating at school. Hot lunch from food services will not be available for 5th graders before the field trip. Students may have a small snack in the afternoon when we return. Please follow the regular school guidelines when sending an afternoon snack for this day (healthy, peanut-free, easy to eat)
We will have Valentine’s Day parties on Thursday, February 14th around 2:30pm. If your child would like to pass out valentines, please remember that no food items may be attached or passed out. We also ask that when passing out valentines to remember to include all students in the class. There are 24 students in our class. The class list will be posted to Edmodo so students can be sure they don't miss anyone when addressing their valentines.
At the end of February, 5th Grade will have the annual Erin’s Law Presentations. These will be given by our wonderful social worker, Mrs. Judy Thompson. Each 5th grade class is scheduled sometime throughout the week of February 25th. If you would like any further information about Erin’s Law, our district website has some resources you can explore.
Have a great Dolphin week!!
