The first week is finished! Can you believe it? I know I can’t. We are well on our way to having a successful fifth grade school year.
We have spent the past week getting to know each other, as well as getting started on our academics.
MAP testing – MAP testing begins on Monday. At this moment, I am not sure of what our class’s schedule will be. Please make sure students are ready for testing. That means, they have had a good night’s sleep, and a good breakfast.
Recess – We will be going outside for recess every day. It is important for students have the opportunity to run around and socialize with their friends. We will go outside when the weather permits. Please dress your child appropriately. Unfortunately, we were only able to go outside a few days this week.
Cold – Our class room is a bit on the cold side. If your child tends to be chilly, please provide a sweater for him/her. Make sure that the sweater you select follows our uniform policy.
Be on time! Please be aware that if your child arrives late, is out for a day, or leaves early, they are missing out of valuable time in the classroom.
Uniforms – It is important that students show up to school in uniform every day. The uniform policy includes shoes and belts. Shoes and belts should be ALL black or brown. This is an important part of our school culture.
Summer Reading Club Books – Please bring in your Summer Reading Club books as soon as possible. They will be collected next week, on Wednesday.
