Week 3 Newsletter

Week 3 was fun!

Students went to their first Band and Strings session to learn more about the program and their instruments. We also went to library for the very first time! And on Friday we had our very first Pay Day. It went really well, and the bankers got a little taste of what the year will look like for them.

Students should have brought home their first Friday Folder and Progress Report. Students are setting goals in the hopes of attaining them in a week's time. Please have a conversation with your student about their goals. Inside the Friday Folder was also the Outdoor Ed packet with all the permission slips. Please work on completing those forms. They are due in a few weeks. I know it is a lot of information, but it is a truly once in a lifetime experience for your 5th grader.

This upcoming week will be busy...

On Tuesday, September 4th we will have our first Auction. Students can sell or buy items during this time... the only requirement is that all items sold during the auction must be homemade. If a food item is brought in for sale, it needs to have an ingredient list with it for our students who need to avoid certain foods.

Also, the ice cream social is Tuesday evening starting at 6. If you're available and haven't already signed up to help, please do! The signup sheet is here... Ice Cream Social Signups I will be there, at the syrup station, so I hope you stop by!

Wednesday will be our first math test. The mid module 1 test covers the first 8 lessons of module 1, and the students received the study guide on Friday.

Other important bits of information...

BOXTOPS

Our school is collecting Boxtops! If you clip them off any package and send them in to school with your child, I will make sure they are turned in. Just put them in a ziploc bag with your child's name and our class!

SPIRIT FRIDAYS

Every Friday, Mohr is celebrating our school spirit by wearing Mohr Spirit Wear or our school colors of maroon, white, and black. It's a fun way to show our school pride! 

Weekly News: Week 3

I can't believe it's already September! These three weeks have really flown by. Students have started seeing Ms. Britto for science, and all our subject areas are up and running.  On Wednesday we had our first "Pay Day"... learning how to deposit our paychecks, earn bonuses, and pay fines!

Don't forget, Monday is Labor Day... I hope you all have a fun and relaxing three day weekend!

A few things to remember for next week:

• Tuesday-- Safety Valets!
• The new schedule is out and our class is scheduled for this week. Students received their new schedule today and should be at school on time for their shift. A few students are thinking about joining in, as well, to help make sure our MWF mornings are covered. Thank you to all of you who volunteered!
• Tuesday-- Kindness Ambassador applications due
• Ms. Britto had an informational meeting this past Wednesday. All interested students should have their forms with them on Tuesday so they may be considered. 
• Wednesday-- Mid Module 1 Math test.

All our math tests this year will be taken on the computer, to better prepare them for the state testing in May. Students should study this weekend for the test, which covers lessons 1-8. Don't forget there are videos for each of the lessons, found HERE. And I've also linked up our Study Guide, so you can see the types of questions your students should study, HERE. We will go over all the correct answers on Tuesday.
