Good Morning Team 5th Grade!

First off, I would like to wish all the moms, or anyone who has taken on the roles and responsibilities of a mom, a very happy and joyous Mother’s Day! You all deserve it!


Hopefully you had an AWESOME weekend!  It was a little chilly, but it was still the weekend!  Also, make sure that you told your mom Happy Mother’s Day! 

I hope all of you are doing well, staying safe, having some fun, and continuing to learn!

I just want to say GREAT JOB  to those students who continue to get so much work done, and for those students that really stepped it up last week….NICE JOB!!!  I am so PROUD of YOU!! 🐒🌠 You know who all of you are!!  I continue to enter your completed work in the Snow Learning Log, and I am so impressed with so many of you for getting so much work done!!  

However, if you’re not getting your work done, it’s really important that you take the time to get caught up.  Complete your responsibilities for this week FIRST, then go back and get caught up.  Email me if you need help getting organized.   I’M HERE TO HELP!


Here are your tasks for this week.  I have broken it down by subject. This is for the WHOLE week, so please use my sample schedule to try and plan your week out.  If you need help creating a schedule, please let me know.  My sample schedule is located below your tasks for this week.

It is very important that you complete your assignments.  Once you complete your work, I report the amount of work you’re completing during the week to Mrs. Alcodray in our school work-log.
If you have any questions, please let me know!  


IMPORTANT:  OUR LIVE VIDEO LEARNING SESSIONS ARE EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY AT 1:30 PM.  I will continue to teach lessons, and take attendance during the meetings.   (Instructions for logging in were sent to you last week.  Please let me know if you need me to resend them to you.)
