Dear Families,<\/span><\/p>\n

Welcome to the fifth grade. \u00a0I am looking forward to an exciting year. \u00a0You will be amazed at just how much your child will grow this year. \u00a0I hope to work closely with each family. \u00a0It is important that we keep the lines of communication open. \u00a0Please check your child\u2019s take-home folder daily. \u00a0One side will be marked \u201cstay home\u201d. \u00a0These items should be taken out daily. \u00a0The other side will be marked \u201creturn\u201d. \u00a0Any item on this side needs to be returned to school.<\/p>\n

Snack<\/b> \u2013 It is essential to keep your child alert and motivated throughout the school day. \u00a0We will have two snacks in this class (morning and afternoon). \u00a0I ask that you send only healthy snacks (fruit, vegetables, crackers, cheese, dry cereal, etc.) \u00a0These snacks take place during classroom activities. \u00a0There is no time to stop to wash, peel, or prepare snacks. \u00a0Please do not send cookies, cupcakes, fruit snacks, \u00a0fruit drinks, or yogurt. \u00a0Your child may bring a water bottle to school each day. \u00a0Please be sure it has a tight seal. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Labels<\/b> \u2013 Please be sure to label everything that comes to school.<\/span><\/p>\n

Homework<\/b> – Your child will have homework. \u00a0Please stress the importance of completing homework assignments neatly, carefully, and turning them when they are due. \u00a0Your child should be encouraged to read for 20 minutes every evening. This will be recorded on their \u201cReading Log\u201d each night. You will be asked to initial the log EVERY evening. \u00a0They will be graded on this log.<\/span><\/p>\n

Communication<\/b> \u2013 A folder will come home with your child every day with completed work, homework, notes from school and the community. \u00a0Please look at this folder daily. \u00a0Anything on the \u201cStay Home\u201d side should be emptied. \u00a0I will also sign planners daily. \u00a0I expect you to look at and sign your child\u2019s planner EVERY DAY. \u00a0This is also where you can write notes if you have questions. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggested Supplies <\/b>\u2013 The following is a list supplies for your child to bring to class. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span> Pencils<\/span><\/p>\n

Red pens<\/span><\/p>\n

Loose-leaf paper<\/span><\/p>\n

Colored markers<\/span><\/p>\n

Pencil sharpener (with lid)<\/span><\/p>\n

Pencil top erasers<\/span><\/p>\n

1 dry erase marker with sock to erase<\/span><\/p>\n

2 boxes Kleenex tissue<\/span><\/p>\n

2 bottles of antibacterial soap<\/span><\/p>\n

1 set of Multiplication Facts Flashcards (1-12)<\/span><\/p>\n

More supplies may be needed as the school year progresses. \u00a0I will send future notes home as needed.<\/p>\n

Finally, thank you for your support. \u00a0I am pleased to be a part of the wonderful staff at Henry Ford Elementary. \u00a0I am looking forward to a fun-filled year of learning with your children.<\/span><\/p>\n
