Fifth-Grade Families,

It has been wonderful getting to know your children a little better and see our class team come together. It’s going to be a great year!

A reminder that this Thursday, August 24th, is early out at 1:10 pm. Also, there is no school Friday, August 25th.

Assembling our class promise was a highlight this week. Everyone had a chance to contribute, and their responses were thoughtful and meaningful. We talked about how just like the rings of a tree tell its story, we get to determine our rate of growth and our story for this year. A signed copy of this class promise will be on display in our classroom.

This week, we will complete our beginning of the year iReady diagnostics and Acadience Reading testing. We are also jumping right into our 5th grade curriculum!

In ELA, we will be asking and answering questions while we read to determine the author’s perspective. In math, we will be multiplying multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.

If you haven’t done so yet, please pay your $30 supply donation here as soon as possible: Online Payments, marking “Other” and typing “Shaw Supplies.” You may also pay in the Q1 office.

Also, please be sure to complete the Food Permission Slip (sign-in permissions have been fixed), Family Survey, and Class Disclosure.

Thank you,

Mrs. Shaw
