Hello 5th Grade Families,
I hope you had an amazing Spring Break! It’s hard to believe we are down to our last few weeks of school! They are some of our busiest weeks of the year. We are going to be putting our hard work to the test and practicing our growth mindset! Challenge is an adventure!
Please remember that the 5th grade maturation program is this Friday, April 12th. Parents, please make every effort possible to attend this program with your child. Your attendance is not required, but is highly encouraged. Girls’ instruction will begin at 8:35 am and boys’ will be at 9:30 am.
This week and next week in ELA, we are going to be learning about how different groups can contribute to a cause, studying heroic examples from World War II. We are also finishing our last math lesson and diving deeper into the world of geometry by learning about properties and relationships among categories of two-dimensional figures.
Math tutoring for the remainder of the year will be held by invitation only in order to maximize this learning time for those who need it most. If your child can benefit from this extra support, you will receive a separate email from me for specific tutoring sessions, otherwise at home IXL practice is always a welcome choice!
RISE testing will begin Wednesday, May 8th, and will continue through Friday, May 17th. Please check with your student to make sure they have a functioning, reliable set of headphones in class. If you are aware that your child is going to be missing learning time in the next few weeks, please let me know as soon as possible so that make-up resources can be prepared ahead of time.
Next Friday, April 19th, will be a bonus dollar dress down day. The junior high will also announce the future 6th grade student council representatives and cheer team that day. Best of luck to all of our candidates and teammates! We are so very proud of your courage and hard work.
Thank you so much for your continued support and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any concerns,
Mrs. Shaw
