Scholastic Book Club

It's almost the holidays, and if you are interested in picking out any gifts for your student, click on the picture above. I'll be placing a large Scholastic order on December 5th, in order to make sure the books arrive in time before we leave for Winter Break.

Parents, if you end up ordering anything for the purpose of a gift, and would like the order to remain a secret, please let me know and we can arrange how you pick it up.

Guest Blogger- Jayani

Jayani asked a few of her friends all about the Poetry unit we are starting, as well as the book we just finished reading entitled, The Fourteenth Goldfish. Thanks to our camerawoman, Abby, as well as Katie, Soumya, Rhea, and Anjali.

Report Card Conferences

Just a reminder...

Report Card Conferences are next week, November 17-20th. The time and date you selected for your conference can be found HERE, at Sign Up Genius. You should also be getting a reminder email from Sign Up Genius a few days prior to your conference as a reminder.

Due to conferences, next week features 3 minimum days on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Students will come to school from 8:15-12:30 on those days. There is no late start on Wednesday next week. Friday there is no school for the students.

I'm looking forward to meeting with all of you to discuss your child's grades for the 1st trimester.

Narrative #2

Students don't forget that Narrative #2 is due today before the end of the day. Many of you submitted your essay to Google Classroom today during writing time, but if you decided to work on it a little more this afternoon, make sure you get it in tonight!

Have a great 4 day weekend! See you on Wednesday!

Fun Run 2014

Tomorrow is our annual Fun Run! Students will be running and walking to raise money for technology needs at our school. We just had Apple TV installed in our classroom yesterday from last spring's Fun Run earnings. We're excited to start using it to enhance our learning. We can't wait to see what else we're able to introduce into our classroom.

Hope to see you out there cheering our class on. The 5th grade races at 2:00pm. Students show your 5th grade pride and wear lots of BLUE!
