We know that many may not have talked about it much at home yet but as we begin our journey we hope to see an increase in these discussions!

The math tests have been moved to Monday October 26th.  You should have your binder at home with you today so you can study!  I will be checking desks for binders tomorrow night.  You will earn two points if it is at home with you.  You will earn zero points if it is in your desk!!!

Don’t forget that both your literacy binder and content area binder can go home every single day!!  Please help your parents keep up with what is going on in the room.  You can show them what you did each day by sharing the notes in your binder with them!!  Also, go over your planner and tell them what we did in each area and what you learned.

Fifth graders-don’t forget pumpkin carving and strings are happening tomorrow afternoon!!

Also,  please remember to tell your parents that this blog IS the note.  I will not be sending home paper notes.  All the information will be on my blog!!  Tell them to subscribe to make keeping informed even easier!

I know you are taking your binders home so that you can study and review all the work we have been doing on regions in the U.S.  It is quite a bit of information and you need to study for more than one night!  Make sure your study guide is filled out-it will be a big help to you.  Remember the test is on Oct. 29th.  Don’t wait until the last minute!

While you have your binders at home you can also  study your material on heat energy, electricity, and magnets for science.  The test is scheduled for Nov. 5th.  Look for real life examples and interesting experiments relating to the concepts we have discussed.
