Pokémon cards

Pokémon cards are no longer allowed in my classroom. They are becoming to much of a distraction. Thank you.

Holiday Party

Our 5th grade classes will be enjoying a festive Holiday party on December 23rd from 9:00am to approximately 11:00 am. We’re planning on having a delicious pancake breakfast, cooked by our very own 5th grade teachers! While the students are enjoying a wonderful home-cooked breakfast, they will be able to sit with friends from all 3 classes and watch a G-rated Holiday movie. We have several items that we are in need of to make our celebration a success. Please click on the link below to sign up for an item(s) needed for our party. Your generosity is extremely appreciated, and we thank you so much!

Message for our Special Ed staff 

 This month, our special education staff discussed with our students the importance of Person First Language. When we are communicating with and about people with disabilities, we should always use Person First Language. This form of language places emphasize on the person, NOT the disability. All people have individualized goals, interests, and abilities, whether they have a disability or not. Person First Language allows us to look at these individual characteristics rather than the disability. An example of Person First Language is “child with autism” rather than “autistic child.” Raising awareness for this type of language will ensure that ALL students feel comfortable and valued at our school.Thanks!

Week of December 13th-16th 

I hope everyone enjoyed the Snow Day yesterday!
Since Monday was a Snow Day, we will go over the Unit 4 Math Study Guide today and tomorrow. The test will be on Thursday.
The lunch time policy for playground time is students must have snow pants and boots on in order to play on the grass. Otherwise, students are restricted to the blacktop only on outside recess days.
If your child wears boots to school, please send in a pair of shoes for them to change into in class. Wet boots are to be left in the hallway so we do not have puddles throughout the classroom.
Please remember to bring your child to school on time. The first bell rings at 8:35 a.m. Students should already be lined up in the gym at 8:35 so we can start the Pledge of Allegiance. Many students are walking into the gym at or after 8:40 a.m.
Students are to turn in their Weekly Reading Logs everyday with a parent signature. If students are not responsible and forget to turn it in or do not have a parent signature, they will have to change their card. We have been doing this for the past 9 weeks, so it should be a routine by now.
