I hope everyone had a relaxing 4 day break and is ready for the final half of 5th grade! It will be a busy time and we all all need to work hard, but as Vince Lombardi said "The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary."
Report cards go home Friday. Awards ceremony is 10:00 on Friday. I will be setting up parent-teacher conferences with parents of students who have received a possible letter of retention this week and next. Mrs. Dohner and I are free daily at 12:45 or after school on Wednesdays and Fridays. I am available at 8:30 a.m. daily.
We will continue reading "Out of the Dust" this week. Work will continue and begin to wind down on our poetry books too. No vocabulary!
Competitive Edge:
Homework in these books will begin this week. You may continue to read and write a summary or you may complete these assignments in the book: Students must come in and grade their own work and make corrections for credit. This will be done on the honor system. The 5A class will go over the CE book using the following schedule, work must be completed by these days to receive homework credit:
Wed. 1/18: Diagnostic Test, pt. 1
Thurs. 1/19: Diag. test pt. II
Fri: 1/20: p.1-5
Tues. 1/24: 6-10
Wed. 1/25: 11-14
Thurs; 1/26: 15-21
Fri. 1/27: 22-26
If you have already begun the book and these pages are complete, please read for homework. Remember, we have a non-fiction book report due in March.
