Happy Three Day Weekend!

Hello, Parents!

We have made it to Memorial Day Weekend! This week students wrote cinquain and alliteration poems. If you are interested in seeing their poems, please ask your student to share their Poetry Journal with you, located on Google Classroom. Students practiced coordinate grids and multiplying and dividing by mixed numbers for math. They took the first part of the Unit Test too. Look for Test Corrections and Retakes next week. The homelinks are on Google Classroom. Also, students should be reading for 20 minutes every night. So please make sure students are filling out their reading logs each night. Also, please read the information about DOGS Tags. These tags will be daily items that students will need to have. 

Here are some announcements for next week:

No School this Monday, May 30th! Happy Memorial Day!

June Dates to remember

• Monday, June 13th, Hot Dog Lunch
  
• Field Day is Tuesday, June 14th!
  
• The last day of school is a Half Day on Wednesday, June 15th
  

DOGS Tags are starting to be used every day at school. They need them for walking in the hallway, library, lunch, intramurals, and DOGS Recess/Rewards. Students will be staying in for DOGS Recess/Rewards if they do not have their DOGS Tag for the listed activities above! 

Students now have the responsibility of using their lockers. Please practice their combination at home. Also, students should have a homework folder that they will bring to school each day. This folder should contain their reading log, homelinks, math journal, and other homework. If you have any questions, email me. 

Parents! what you need to sign this week:

• Planner
  
• Reading Log (These are counted as a grade and need to be turned in on Mondays)
  
• Friday Folder (Please take all paper out and keep them at home)
  

Parent Connect/Gradebooks: Parents, you can start checking Parent Connect to see what assignments your student is missing or incomplete and see what they have received on homework and test. For missing assignments, I would suggest showing your students what the assignment is and looking for it in their backpacks, desk, or locker. If they can’t find it, please tell me to make a new copy. Students could also check their grades using Student Connect if they didn’t know. This can be found on the Brighton Area Schools website under “I am a Student.” Please email me if you have any questions. 

Absent Students: Please look on Google Classroom for Assignments and Homework that you missed.

Planners: Please sign the planner every day!
