Homework This Week (Aug 30-Sept 1)

Along with ready their Science Study Guide for 10 minutes each night, students will also need to complete the following to prepare for their Measurement Test on Friday:

Tuesday
Metric Test 1 (#2)

Wednesday
Metric Test 1 (#4)

Thursday
Metric Test 1 (#6)

*They may use their Study Guides to help them answer the questions, but they should try to use the hints less and less each night.

Tic Tac Toe

Each 9 weeks, the students will choose one assignment from our Tic Tac Toe board they will be responsible for completing. The students may work on their project during their free time in class or may work on it at home if they want. I will be looking for accurate information, following directions, creativity and neatness. There will be one Tic Tac Toe assessment due each 9 weeks and it will be counted as an assessment grade.

The first 9 weeks Tic Tac Toe assignment is due Friday, October 7, 2011.

Welcome to 5th Grade!!!

I am so excited for this ROCKIN' school year to begin! I enjoyed meeting everyone at Meet the Teacher and I look forward to meeting the rest on Monday!

This blog is a way for me connect and communicate with you at home about what is happening in our classroom and campus. I will weekly post homework, things that need to be signed and brought back, heads up on events and projects in class, etc... If you are curious to see what I have posted in the past for the last school year, feel free to look through my archived posts.

Anyone may comment on the posts even without an account, as long as the comments are courteous and  positive towards the school and classroom environment.

I hope that you find this blog useful and helpful in making this year with me a success!
