Classroom Calendar

Sunday, October 14, 2012

We have been having a great time in 5th grade so far.  I can't believe that it is already time to go off track!  We have been having so much fun in class.  It has been great to see how much your children are enjoying math time.  Almost everyday when the bell rings for them to go out for recess they are disappointed that math is over and sometimes ask if they can just stay in.  I love that they are engaged and enjoying the learning process! 

It would be very beneficial to read and use your new math skills while we are off track.  We have been learning about adding and subtracting decimals, estimating decimals, etc.  It would be a fun activity to take your child with you to the grocery store and have them estimate how much the bill will be!

Your child's mystery book report is due on Tuesday, October 16th.  This is the art and craft book report.  He/She needs to be prepared to present their project and say a little bit about the book they read.  ( I sent a rubric home about 2 weeks ago).  

Our class store is going to be Wednesday morning.  Thank you to all of you that have sent things in for the students to "buy".  I know our class is really looking forward to this activity.  Our Halloween party will start right after lunch on Wednesday.  Because the rest of the school is still on track and having a normal day, we cannot dress up for our party.  The school is having a "blackout" day for all D-Track students.  This is going to take place of dressing up.  (If the school allowed the D-Track students to dress up this day it would be very distracting to the other students in the school.)

I hope you have a fun and safe off track!  Remember, we come back November 12th.  If you have any questions or concerns while we are off track just e-mail me (karen.masina@jordandistrict.org) and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Happy Halloween!  See you in November!
