Students will immerse themselves in science for the next two weeks as well as building on comprehension skills and math facts. Students will be testing for 3 weeks tarting Monday 3/14/14. Please make sure your child gets a good night sleep and a nutritious breakfast. Make sure your child makes it to school on time. Students that are late will not be able to test and will be sent to another class till testing is done. It is very important students are on time please. I would like to thank you in advance for supporting your child in their educational success. I can't believe that there is only 7 weeks of school left and there is still so much to do. Students have started Cornell Note Taking the method of note taking practiced in middle school and high school. Students did a great job taking noted during science. We have a parent planning meeting for 5th grade promotion coming up at the end of this month. The date and time are TBA. We are still taking donations for water, juice boxes, red/white/blue decorations and goodies for the student gift bags (enough for 150 students). |
Please make sure your child is reading 20-30 minutes a night, this will increse their comprehension and fluency. A big thank you to our chaperiones again for making our field trip a success. I look forward
to the next few weeks of test prep and testing. All of your children have been working very hard all year long and this is their day to shine. I'm confident they're all going to do very well. Good luck everyone. 5th Grade Rocks!!!!! Mrs. Padilla |
