Hello Parents,
After a short week of school last week, we finally had a full week. This week we dive deep into our Nonfiction Unit, learning about Topics, Main Ideas, and Supporting details. Students will continue working on these concepts as we work through the last three and ½ months of school. Also, students do a great job completing their homelinks and math boxes for Unit 5. I will continue to assign Math Boxes to help students build confidence in the math skills that they have learned this year, so they are ready for NWEA and MSTEP. NWEA Testing is coming! Students will be testing on Tuesday, March 7th, for the Reading NWEA and taking the Math NWEA on Wednesday, March 15th. If your student is away from those days, please email me so I can arrange for your student to take the test at a different time and date. On testing days, ensure students get enough sleep and have a morning breakfast. This routine will help your student to be successful! If you like some practice tests, check out prepdog.com. They can take the practice tests for Reading and Math for 5th grade. Also, students need to remember to bring their planners to school. I see a lot of students without it. Students need to get it signed by a parent every day. Please remember that students need to be responsible and show you their planners every day! It might be a good idea to come up with a system for when they can show you their planner for you to sign it. Here is some information for next week: NWEA Testing Dates:
Trimester 2 ends on Friday, March 10th! Report Cards will be coming home on Friday, March 24th. No School on Monday, March 13th! Spring Break is From Monday, March 27th, to Friday, March 31st. I will see everyone back at school on Monday, April 3rd. Planners: Please sign the planner for every day! Math: We are on Unit 5, which is on Fractions with the four operations.
