Welcome to the 2015-16 school year!
What a great beginning of the year we have had! I truly believe that we are chugging along at a great rate through the information 5th graders need to learn. This is a great group of students with a good knowledge base overall from 4th grade and prior years. Keep practicing multiplication facts and of course, read everyday. Both of these activities will strengthen abilities for future learning! We keep homework short and sweet, so please complete anything that is sent home, as this, too, is important for building future skills. We are looking forward to a great year! #5thGradeRocks

PARCC Testing is Almost Upon Us!
Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure.
We have prepared, and will prepare this week, like the ferocious writing and math beasts that we are, and we will be successful on these tests!!!
The PARCC review in writing consists of three essays, which are written as a response to a writing task about different types of text. One is a literary analysis essay, after reading excerpts from novels; One is a research simulation, which is written after reading nonfiction articles about a certain topic; and the third is a narrative essay, written after reading a fiction passage.
Math PARCC testing this month consist of problems using various computation methods, as well as written responses where students will have to explain their answers.
These are no easy tasks! Let's get all students off to a great start daily. Part of preparing and practice is nutrition and rest. Please make sure that your student is eating a good breakfast daily, whether at home or at school, brings a snack daily to eat at our daily snack time, and gets enough sleep every night. (Ample sleep at this age has been defined as approximately 9 hours per night.)
