Weekly Announcements for May 16th to May 20th

Hello, Parents!

Students have been having a great time diving deep into their creativity to create 5th-grade leveled poems. If you want to read the poems your student has been working on then, please have them show their Poetry Journal located on Google Classroom. Students multiplied fractions and mixed numbers for math to find the product. I will assign more Math Boxes in the math journal as homework, so students must take their math journals home and school every day.  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 on Monday, May 30th!

Field Day is Tuesday, June 14th!

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.
