STAAR Week is over

Please hug your child tonight and let him/her know how proud you are of them.  This has been a very stressful week for them. 
I am very proud of each one of them. 
We are in the home stretch.  Over the next few weeks we will be preparing for our Engineering Fair that will be on May 21, 2015.  Your child will be working through the enigeering process to prove that if you can dream it, you can create it. 
I look foward to sharing with you some of the amazing creations that will come from the fair.

Spring Fever

I hope that you and your family are having a great week.  Your students have been working hard as we review key concepts that we have learned in Math and Science.  In a few weeks your child will be taking the Math and Science STAAR test.  I know that each one will show what they have learned this year and do well.
Please talk to your child about the importance of staying focused and finishing strong.  This is a very exciting time of year for Fifth Graders.  Most are looking forward to middle school and saying good-bye to elementary school.  While we have many exciting events and activities planned, we still have about two more months of school left and we are not finished yet.
Than you for your continued support,
Mrs. Jones

STAAR Week

I hope that you are looking forward to spending the day with your child on Friday.  I know that we could all use a day off.  

I hope that your child has given you their report card so that you can see their progress.  I have also send home a photo with them of their graduation picture.  If you would like to order them, please fill out the envelope and I will send the pictures home with your child.  

Have a great rest of your week.

Back to school after the snow

I hope that you stayed warm while the kids were off.  I wanted to let you know that our kidblog site is up and has some videos posted.  Please check out the presentation that we had and stop-motion videos of the day and night cycle.  
Don't forget that we have graduation pictures on Monday March 2, Open  House on Thursday and Spirit Assemblies on Friday.  
Spring Break will be the following week.  
Stay warm

February 16th

We have had a full week.  Today we had a cool presentation about Shakespeare.  Check out our video on Twitter or at Kidblog.

We are back!!!

The beginning of the year has been amazing.  Your children have been multiplying and dividing fractions, finding the area and perimeter of shapes and exploring with geometry.  I hope that your child has told you about some of the interesting topics that we have discussed in science and during our research time.
We are going to start a Kidblog site, so stay turned in for that address.  Your child will have a password that they will need to use to be able to see the site.  Also check out some photos of our classroom on Twitter.  

What has been happening

We have been so busy. Your students have participated in a school wide  design challenge, and had an amazing assembly.  You need to check out some cool pictures on Twitter.
We have moved into Science as we prepare for camp.  Please be sure to check your child's agenda on Monday for important dates and upcoming events.
Until next week:)
