Mrs. Gartha's 5th Grade Blog

I’m not sure how the weather will affect classes the rest of this week but we need the kids  to keep at their studies. The students know that reading is expected to be done every day and well as writing in their log. If we do not have school on a day or two, please be sure that your child is working on Khan Academy, Zearn, Exact Path, NWEA Practice Site or Study Island. In their planner, write be sure that your child writes down the site that he/she worked on under the correct day and the amount of time they were on that site.  NWEA testing will continue this week.  We still need to finish Language and do math and science.  Once again, be sure that your child is well rested and has a good breakfast in the morning.
