Homework

Ok, so this is our first homework posting for the year! Hopefully, parents, you received my explanation of MY 5th grade spelling work and options. I will answer all questions at Curriculum Night Thursday (or you can email me). The kids will get it as the weeks go on, but rest assured that this plan will motivate them to do their best. Today alone, all but 5 are on the alternate list.

Today, we were introduced to an option ONLY OPEN TO 5th graders: Band and Orchestra! Let the advantages and priviliges begin!! Mr. Cappert and Mr. Ruhs introduced us to all the instruments available to the 5th graders. THe "prelude" program begins THIS THURSDAY at 7:50 a.m. Your child has a green sheet in their folder (they SHOULD!!)that you need to read, sign, and return tomorrow giving them permission to take part in this activity. THis is a time for them to try out ALL the instruments before making a decision. They can hold them, play them, talk about them, see some great videos, and then, with the help of the instructors, they can decide what (if anything) is right for them! Awesome!

HOMEWORK for 8-24
Math (5th) - Study Link 1.2
Writing - Bring things to decorate your writing folder (stickers, pictures, stencils, etc.)
"Me" bag (if you haven't shared yet)
Spelling - 3 activities (any 3 from the contract sheet or created by student) due on Friday.

I look forward to seeing you again (or meeting you for the first time) on Thursday night!
