Welcome to our class website!
This is Red Ribbon Week. Our Fifth Grade Just Say No Club has done a marvelous job in planning our decorations and activities for this week. I want to say a special thanks to our room mothers for the marvelous door decorations. Be sure and take a look when you come for the Halloween Party.
Our Annual Halloween Parade and Party will be this Friday. This fun event is always an opportunity for a big celebration. Remember that students cannot wear their costumes to school, or bring fake weapons as a part of their costumes. We will begin to change into costumes very slowly after a short recess. Students will continue to work until we line up for the parade at 2:00. If you are bringing your child’s costume, please plan to be in the pod by 1:45.
Our class has several projects underway. Students are writing a first personal narrative in class. The rough draft is due on Friday. Most students completed their rough draft last Friday, and unfinished rough drafts were taken home to be completed. Our next 4-H Meeting is Monday, and students should bring their posters to school on that day. I have enclosed another copy of the requirements for the poster in the Weekly Folder. At this meeting, the students will find out about the next project due for 4-H at the end of November. In addition, we will assign our Explorer Project on Thursday. Students have until the first week in December to complete this project. Look for a letter of explanation on Thursday.
Several students have asked about our plans for a field trip. Sumner County stated that we can only have one field trip this year. We have decided to take our trip in the spring.
Thank you for your continued support. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Be sure to check the link to Spelling City. I have linked to Mrs. Robertson’s site, and it has great activities focused on our spelling lists. You can even print out cursive practice pages on each week’s spelling lists. The science link is not a link to our textbook, but to enrichment activities for the students that coordinates with the textbook. An online copy of the Social Studies textbook link is on this page. The user name for the link is “cearley4ile”, and the password is “tennessee.”
Some classroom needs: Hooray! Recess equipment has arrived. The students are so thankful! I was able to use our PTO yearly start money to purchase some equipment. Thank you to the PTO.
