The fifth grade girls are enjoying the nice warm day in November. We were waiting for our lunch tables to be free. We all enjoyed the time outside in the warm sun!

Electronic Fridays...

On Fridays if you make your A.R. weekly goal you can bring in your electronics to play during your free time. Justin, Eric, Stephen, and Christian have made their weekly A.R. goal (week of November 20th) and are enjoying their group electronic games. Great job guys!

A.R. Movie & Snack Day in 5th Grade!

Welcome Back!

I hope everyone had a GREAT Thanksgiving Break. I sure did. It was great to see Daniel and Christy (his new puppy). Daniel has returned for mid-terms in Law School and Christy is visiting me until he comes back in December. We have three weeks of school before we begin our Christmas vacation. Both 5th and 6th grade Math students will finish up Chapter 3 and take our Chapter 3 test before we leave. We will not have a practice Math test this time - only the "real one". We will spend the last week before vacation reviewing what we have learned and playing math games.

We will also finish up our chapter on Verbs before break. We will not be having a practice test this time - only the "real one". Please review all you notes on verbs and go over the review booklet we have been working on.

It was great to see everyone's smiling face today. Our unexpected break refreshed all of us and we were ready to get down to business.

Grammar 5 - we reviewed VERBS. Everyone is doing great with this unit!

Word Study - our test is tomorrow. Remember to bring in your "at home" work and remember to study.

Math 5 - we are still reviewing long division. Today we talked about dividing money into equal parts. The children used "play" money and had a great time.

Math 6 - today we learned how to use a chart to help us solve multi-stepped problems.

BOTH MATH CLASSES RECEIVED EXTRA CREDIT WORK WHICH WILL NEED TO BE TURNED IN BY FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20th!
