Hello Parents,
Another week of school has passed, and another week of MSTEP testing is done! We have one last MSTEP test to take, which is Math. Please look below at what days we have that test. We will review and learn new concepts with our Math unit to prepare for the test. If students would like to prepare, then they can take practice tests at http://www.prepdog.org/5th-grade.htm Spring is here, and student energy levels are high. We had an assembly this week for students to review the expectations for behavior in school. Remember, we are a “No-Hands” school, meaning students should not touch other students. Please make sure you review the school's rules and your expectations for them to finish the school year strong. Also, with Spring comes warmer weather. Please make sure students are dressed appropriately for school. Here is the Maltby’s Student Handbook for reference: Maltby Student Handbook https://www.brightonk12.com/cms/lib/MI02209968/Centricity/Domain/8/MIS%20handbook%20revised%2012-2020.pdf Thank you to all parents who donated items for our Earth Day activity and treat. It was a nice reward after MSTEP testing. The students created products from plastic bags. We had student groups create clothes, window currents, and accessories. It was a great afternoon in fifth grade! Here are some announcements: End of the School Year Events:

Hello Parents,
This week we wrap up units in Math, Science, and Social Studies. I am very proud of the work that they have done in class! You should be too! Remember we do have the MSTEP Social Studies on Monday and MSTEP Science on Wednesday. Please make sure students get a good night’s sleep and a breakfast in the morning, so students can try their best on the test! On Monday, April 24th, I plan to do an Earth Day Activity with the students. I would love to give a special treat to our students, so I am asking for help from our families to donate items to make dirt cups!

The students did a great job on their MSTEP testing. I am very proud of them for taking their time and answering the questions to the best of their ability! For next week, we have many subject tests coming up. We will have a math test on Tuesday, a science test on Wednesday, and the social studies test on Thursday.
