Hello, Parents!
Homecoming Spirit Week was so much fun! The students did a great job dressing up! This week, students took their first Math Test. Grades are going home today. Students can retake parts of the test if they received a 2, 1, or 0 on that standard. Retakes are optional but highly suggested! To do a retake, students must do test corrections first. I will be sending home the retake ticket today. Please read through the directions and sign the retake ticket if your student wants to retake. Also, here is a cute little video of STEAM Mania from last week, so please take a look if you have time! https://animoto.com/play/3B0P3hMAbp0rxqIfOr036g We also did NWEA testing this week. I will be sharing these results with you at conferences. No Friday Folders this week due to Camp on Tuesday! Here are some announcements for next week: No School on Monday, October 16th! Fifth Grade camp is next Tuesday and Wednesday! Please watch the weather so you can dress your student appropriately since we will be outside most of the day. Also, students are provided lunch and dinner on those days, so please just feed your child breakfast! We had a camp meeting with the students today to inform them of what camp is and how each day will go. Please read the Camp Reminders Sheet coming home today. I will also link it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VETFnoDPHFfE6qN4OrdLa2anNZLL1xG7Mz0U57l17rw/edit?usp=sharing Parent-Teacher conferences are coming up. I will have Face to Face Conferences on Monday, October 23rd, and Virtual Conferences on Tuesday, October 24th. Many of you have signed up for a conference, but if you have not, please schedule one using this link: https://calendar.app.google/moKgsAyExP8gF2Xc8 Mrs. Krayer will be sending her's out later today. Students need to be wearing 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. **Students do need headphones and computer mice for class every day. Please send in plug-in headphones and mice (not Bluetooth) for your student starting Monday, October 30th** Planners: Please sign the planner for Friday! Math: We took our 1st Unit Test, and we took the pretest for Unit 2 this week. We will not be starting the new Unit until after camp. Reading/Writing: Students had their CERER due today for their silent reading book. We will continue to write CERER each week. For writing, we are starting to map out our narrative. Please be aware if your student is absent, they will have writing homework. Also, students are working on sticky notes in our books. So, students are expected to write one to two sticky notes in their book per reading time. Science: We started our first unit on Food Chains and Food Webs. We will continue this unit after camp. Homework: Read for 20 minutes, and fill out the reading log due Thursday! Get ready for Camp on Tuesday! Do not bring backpacks with school supplies on Tuesday or Wednesday. Only bring your day pack and coat for Camp! Parent To Do list:
If you have any questions, then please email me at [email protected]. I hope everyone has a great weekend! Mrs. Orrico
