8/24-8/28

We have made it through a whole week of fifth grade! All of the fifth grade teachers are proud of the hard work and respect we are seeing! However, we are experiencing some disrespect in the classrooms, playground, and when walking the trail. There have been multiple reminders of what it takes to be a leader in fifth grade at Shepard. Some students will be coming home with a Think Sheet tonight. A Think Sheet is what we give out as a reminder of the rules and the student gets to write about what happened. It is a warning, instead of a referral. Please have them complete it, both parent and child sign, and return on Monday. Thank you!

FRIDAY FOLDERS: Some students will have math sheets to fix and return ( they will get 1/2 credit for each corrected problem) and they must be signed. PTSO letters, September menu, and an iPad letter that needs to be signed and returned will all be included! Also, please make sure to go over the checklist with your child, and  sign your initials at the bottom. Thanks!

This week students learned about the following:
Math: Place value
Reading: Independent reading expectations, text resources, and non-fiction text features 
Science: Pendulums and how they work...students had a practice quiz on Thursday, but can expect the real thing next Friday!
Social Studies: We had out first States & Capitals test, learned about geography and landforms.
Writing: Nouns: plurals, possessives, common and proper...and letter writing

NEXT WEEK: Be on the lookout for States & Capitals #11-20, Chapter 1 math test on Thursday, cursive handwriting sheets for homework and any other things that may be included in your child's white folder.
