Welcome Back from Fall Break!

Good Evening 5th grade!

Welcome back from fall break. I hope you all had a restful three weeks. Our classroom has been rearranged and we are ready to get back to learning. Please don't forget the time we spend the next few days reviewing rules and procedures. They are important to me and I appreciate your willingness to learn them in a timely manner so class time isn't wasted.

Below you will find your weekly homework assignments. Remember, we are not using the composition book anymore. Papers for your assignments will be given to you in class and you are responsible for making sure they are in your binder, in your backpack, when you leave at the end of the day. It is also your responsibility to turn in your homework the next day. Homework is no longer due on Fridays (with the exception of the POW). Reading logs are done by the honesty policy. I will not be checking reading logs but will know if you are reading at home by your participation in AR.

I am excited to start the second quarter off on the right foot. I know that we are going to have a lot of fun preparing for our Biztown field trip, getting started on the Science Fair and working with fractions. I will see you all in the morning ready to learn and ACT. Sleep tight!
