Hello Families!
We made it to Spring Break! Please take this next week to relax! We all deserved it! Remember, if your student is absent, please look at Google Classroom. Most of the time, I put what we did on there. Plus, most science assignments, all the Math Lesson videos, and ELA assignments are on Google Classroom. Here are some announcements for next week: Report Cards and Friday Folders go home tomorrow! Please sign and return the Friday Folder Communication Sheet and report card Envelope on Monday, April 1st! MSTEP Testing Dates
Spring Break is from Saturday, March 23rd to Sunday, March 31st. I will see everyone back at school on Monday, April 1st. Students need to wear their ID cards and DOG tags every day. They are allowed to keep them here at school. This protocol is essential since Maltby is so big that if all students have their cards and tags on them, we can identify them in passing times. Planners: Please sign the planner for Friday! Math: We are working on Unit 5, which includes solving fractions with all four operations. We will also learn about equivalent fractions, factors, multiples, and common denominators. We are looking to test the first part of Unit 5 the week after spring break! Also, remember all homelinks and the family letter for the unit are on Google Classroom. The McGraw Hill app has many games students can play at home to practice their skills. Reading/Writing: Students worked on their Non-Fiction One Pager Projects this week. The project directions will be posted on Google Classroom if your student is absent. Students are still working on reading for AR points and writing sticky notes while reading. AR Goals are due Friday, June 7th! Science: Scientific Method Project Presentations were great! Homework: No homework over break unless you were absent this week. If you were absent, then please check Google Classroom for all the assignments we did this break. Of course, if your student wants to do some academic work then they can do Lexia or Imagine Math or read! Parent To-Do List:
If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected]. I hope everyone has a wonderful Spring Break! Mrs. Orrico

Hello Families!
We made it through the first week of the Last Trimester of 5th grade, and the students did a fantastic job testing this week! As the new trimester starts, there will be new AR Goals. I have met with each student to let them know their new reading level for AR and Lexile (based on NWEA reports), and students have chosen an AR Goal based on how they did last trimester. This choice will motivate them to meet their AR goal since they are the ones who decide on it. Remember, if you are absent, please look at Google Classroom. Most of the time, I put what we did on there. Plus, most science assignments, all the Math Lesson videos, and ELA assignments are on Google Classroom. Here are some announcements for next week: Author Visit on Friday, March 22nd MSTEP Testing Dates

We made it through 2nd trimester! Please take this three-day weekend to celebrate your student’s hard work towards school work and testing! A grade sheet will come home today so you can be aware of your student’s grades on the report card. You can also look at Parent Connect. Please sign this grade sheet and have your student turn it in on Tuesday, March 12th. NWEA Testing is Here! We will be testing on…
For Math, we are working on Unit 5, which includes solving fractions with all four operations. We will also learn about equivalent fractions, factors, multiples, and common denominators. Also, remember all homelinks and the family letter for the unit are on Google Classroom. For ELA, students published their comparing-and-contrasting themes in two book essays. If you want to read the essay, please ask your student to show it on Google Classroom. We are now moving on to our Nonfiction Unit. If your student is absent, we have mini lessons on Google Classroom that we are doing in class. For science, we started Changes Cycle 1 unit. We are investigating the idea that different metals conduct heat at different rates. Also, we turned in our Scientific Method Projects today. Students were able to share the projects with their peers in small groups, but students will present their projects in front of the whole class the week before spring break. Therefore, I asked the students to practice presenting their projects in front of their families, dogs, or even stuffed animals at home. The goal is for the student to refrain from the words right off the slides. They should be able to go through each slide summarizing and giving more details than the slide says when presenting since they did the project! Remember, if you are absent, please look at Google Classroom. Most of the time, I put what we did on there. Plus, most science assignments, all the Math Lesson videos, and ELA assignments are on Google Classroom. Here are some announcements for next week: No School on Monday, March 11th Movie Night at Maltby on Friday, March 15th Spring Break is from Saturday, March 23rd to Sunday, March 31st. I will see everyone back at school on Monday, April 1st. We have had many students not write in their planners correctly, which is causing communication problems with what homework to do, which can also lead to students not turning in homework assignments on time. Therefore, please talk with your students about how they are doing with assignments and turning them in. Also, please make sure you are checking the planner and Google Classroom for all assignments. Students need to wear their ID cards and DOG tags every day. They are allowed to keep them here at school. This protocol is essential since Maltby is so big that if all students have their cards and tags on them, we can identify them in passing times. Planners: Please sign the planner for Friday! Math: Unit 5 homelinks and family letter are on Google Classroom. The McGraw Hill app has many games students can play at home to practice their skills. Reading/Writing: Students are learning how to read complex nonfiction text. We will be starting a non-fiction book project soon! Science: Practice Scientific Method Project Presentations at home! Presentations start the week of March 18th! Homework: Read for 20 minutes and fill out the reading log. Parent To-Do List:
