Field Trip Permission Slips and money

Don't forget to give them to Miss Jessica as soon as possible so everyone can attend this wonderful trip!

Class Updates!

Recently I sent home a file folder with science Chapter 1 test and science notebook papers. I also sent home the math Chapter 1 packet, including the chapter test and the work from that chapter. Please note the section where the children had to analyze their mistakes in the math. We are currently working on Chapter 2 in Science, cells and cell systems. Math we are working on multiplication and division. Social Studies will be moving toward the Civil War, most likely next week.

It's September!

I hope everyone had a great long weekend! Get lots of sleep tonight, and I'll see you in the morning.

Math Homework this weekend

We had a couple of slow moments in math today. Three of the 5th graders have a small amount of homework for the weekend -- basically, shouldn't take more than 10-20 minutes. Please let your child do his/her do the work alone :) Thanks! Have a great weekend, and I'll see everyone Monday morning!

Math!

Today we had our first math race -- and a total ringer won! All 5 children did a great job. I'm just loving this class! Please -- look at the email about oatmeal and send some in tomorrow. Thanks!

School Wide Parent Meeting

Parent Meeting will be Wednesday, 8/24. Come with questions! I'll have explanations for you about the active board and about the new school "No Homework" policy, as well as Study Island. See you there!

Welcome to a New Year!

Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year! One of my personal goals this year is to keep this blog up to date. The first order of business will be an explanation of the new school-wide "No Homework" policy. Look for the next blog!

I can't wait to see everyone tomorrow morning for the first full day of school!
