I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! We are on to yet another project in Social Studies. In past years the 5th grade class has done the "Holidays Around the World" project and I will be taking that on this year.
Next Monday night is our display night for our Native American Tribe project. I hope to see many of you there as the students have worked so hard on it. Just a reminder that they need to bring everything to school next Monday to set up.
Today, there will be a slight change to our schedule as we are doing 5 switches instead of 4. Students will have an independent time where they can do homework, study island, practice spelling words and read.
It sounds like we will be getting some snow this week, so make sure your child has warm winter clothes. Have a great week!

Good morning!
We have short week this week due to Thanksgiving. We have a full day Wednesday while having Thursday and Friday off. There will be no spelling this week. We are finishing up our Native American project this week. Next week we are moving on to "Holidays Around the World".
I will be gone tomorrow (November 24) so there will be a substitute teacher. We will work on Gingerbread houses Tuesday and Wednesday. If you are able, please send some supplies to help decorate or donate your time to set up and decorate Gingerbread houses with the kids.
If you are wanting to order books from Scholastic in time for Christmas, orders are due Monday November 30. You can order online or send in the order form.
I hope you all have a great, family-filled Thanksgiving!

Good morning!
Today is the start of a new quarter. It is also our last full week in class to work on our Native American Projects. Students will get their board today or tomorrow and start to put their paragraphs and pictures on them. Just a reminder that students will need to build a replica of their tribe's house (done at home) and bring it in December 7th for American Indian family night! Let me know if you need supplies!
This Wednesday, we have early out! Students are dismissed at 12:50.
Remember to practice those spelling words at home!

We have a busy week a head of us!
-Picture retakes are Tuesday, November 10th. They start at 8:15.
-We have our Veteran's day program Wednesday, November 11th at 8:15 in the gym.
-Also, this Friday is the last day of the quarter. Please make sure your child has all of their missing work turned in!
-Stuff A Truck is going on through the 19th of November. If you are able please send non-perishable items to school!

We are really plugging along with our Native American Research Projects. We are working on typing and revising paragraphs this week. Just a reminder that your child needs to build a model of the house their tribe had lived in.
Have a great week!

Thank you for coming into conferences. It is always good to touch base with you! We have a pretty normal week this week. The spelling list is up; try to sneak in some time to study this week (I know this weekend is deer opener). In Social Studies, we are beginning to write our paragraphs for our Native American Tribe project. I talked with many of you about the model of the tribe's house the kids are supposed to work on at home. Please help your child as needed.
 Just a heads up that next Friday, November 13 is the end of the quarter.
