Week 16 Newsletter

What a busy few weeks we've had! I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving week. It was so nice to have a little break and visit with family and friends.

Thank you to everyone who helped donate items and money to make our San Jose Sharks basket for tomorrow's PTA Holiday Breakfast. Thank you to Elissa and Minal for their help in organizing everything. Our basket is very cute! I hope to see some of you tomorrow at the event.

Next Wednesday we are headed to the Blackhawk Museum in Danville to check out their Spirit of the West exhibit. Thank you to all the parents who volunteered to drive and chaperone. It will be a great time and I think the kids will really enjoy seeing everything in this museum.

Friday, December 14th is our class earned party. Our class has worked very hard over the last few months to earn enough beads to fill up our Sharks cup. This has lead to a fun afternoon planned on December 14th. Students have voted on a theme and chosen... BYOD! Students can bring in their smart phones or tablets for an afternoon of fun and activities.

Week 13 Newsletter

November is such a fun and busy month! We started report card conferences this week and they will continue on into next week. Look HERE if you need a reminder.

We've been enjoying different poetry styles while reading "Love That Dog" which is written in prose. The students are able to be very creative in their poetry as they learn six different poetry styles: couplets, haikus, quatrains, cinquains, limericks, and free verse. It is so fun to see how funny and creative they are!

We are also finishing up Module 2 in math, and will be taking the test next week. Students have been learning all about long division and it's time to see what they know!

Next week we will also be finishing up "Wonder" which we started way back in August! It's such a wonderful story and the kids love hearing the audio version with different voices for all the different perspectives.

Week 7 & 8 Newsletter

We've had a great couple of weeks!

We are eagerly awaiting next week's trip to Outdoor Ed! We began Unit 2 in social studies which has us learning about the Silk Road and its influence on exploration. In science we finished up chapter 1, discovering about cells and plants. Math has us diving into longer multiplication problems with the help of area models and standard algorithms.

We have been busy writing our personal narrative stories and are well on our way to publishing our first piece. Students have been writing numerous drafts to try different strategies and it's wonderful to see how much effort they've put into telling their stories.

Reader's workshop has us discovering the different strategies we use to become better, stronger readers. We are enjoying the story of Home of the Brave and also reading Wonder. It's always exciting to see how much the students love to read!

On Wednesday I sent a big email with reminders about Outdoor Ed. If you need a refresher, here's the info again...

OUTDOOR ED

On Tuesday, please have your student at the front of the school by 7:45am. Our hope is to be able to leave by 8:00am before the morning rush of school traffic.

Luggage:
Your student's luggage and sleeping bag should be labeled with their name and easy for them to carry. They are responsible for their luggage at camp. Please use the packing list to help your student prepare. Camp Campbell is in Boulder Creek, if you want to look up the weather while we are there. We are up in the mountains so it will be cooler. 

Backpack:
Each student should have a small, lightweight backpack for hiking. Please do not have them bring their big school backpacks. Those are usually too heavy for them to wear on long hikes. Students should bring a reusable water bottle. 

Food:
Remember, do not pack your students any food. They will have plenty to eat at camp, and do not need any snacks provided. 

Mail:
If you want to send your student a letter or an email you can mail it to camp, or email camp at campcampbell@ymcasv.orgwith your child's name in the subject line and Mohr Elementary. You can also email me by Monday, and I will print them out and deliver the letters to students during the week.

THE SILK ROAD POSTER

We've been working over a week on our poster project about Marco Polo and the Silk Road. This project is due on Monday, and most students took it home to finish up. The necessary information about the project can be found in Google Classroom. This project is worth 100 points. 

TYNKER

In computer lab students have been introduced to coding through Tynker. This is a wonderful program that allows students to learn the language of code while playing games and solving puzzles. Please read this letter HERE about the program. Students can work on lessons at home, by going through our lab lessons found at bit.ly/wilcoxlab. 

Week 6 Newsletter

After the success of last week's Kindness Week we decided to keep the kind acts going... on Monday we all chose goals that would help us continue to show kindness around campus. It was so nice to see people greeting new friends, holding doors open for one another, and so many other kind deeds!

On Thursday our school participated in Kids Against Hunger. This is the third year we have been able to pack food to send to children and families in Haiti. It's always such a fun morning, knowing we are impacting so many lives.

We are also really starting to gear up for Outdoor Ed in a few weeks! On Wednesday we had our Parent Informational Night with Phil from Camp Campbell. I also sent out an email on Thursday with the parent handbook and packing list. These items can also be found on our website HERE.

A message from PUSD

If you are interested in learning more about the District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC) there is a meeting on Wednesday, October 3rd. More information can be found HERE.

Walk & Roll to School

Our first Walk & Roll to School day is Wednesday, October 3rd. Refreshments and celebrations will be out on the blacktop area from 8:45am to 9:15am.

Kids Against Hunger Event

A BIG HUGE THANK YOU goes out to the Mohr Community for the support of the Kids Against Hunger Packing Event!!!  Thank you to the Mohr parent volunteers and  Chevron volunteers that came out to help for the whole event and to the families that sent in donations so we could pack the food!  A total of $2,798 was collected and 15,336 meals are on their way with Convoy of Hope to the Carolinas!!  It is truly amazing to see the students involved in such an awesome event!  The Tk, kinders and 1st graders decorated the baggies to be filled and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students did an awesome job packing the food. Everyone coming together to make a difference! 

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...

SAFETY VALETS
Thank you to all our students who signed up to be a safety valet for the rest of the school year! Our class is the reporting this week (Sept 4-Sept 7) so help make sure they are at school early, or picked up late.  You can find our class schedule HERE.

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!

Our last writing unit of the year is Memoirs. To end our elementary career, students will be writing about themselves within a larger theme... writing small about big ideas! It's one of my favorite writing units of the year and I can't wait to hear the stories they will share. Check out some of their work on Google Classroom.

To end our 5th grade social studies curriculum we are all traveling along the Oregon Trail as Pioneers. In groups of 5-6, students are in Wagon Companies that will have to navigate the 2,000 mile journey to the Willamette Valley from Independence, Missouri. We've spent a long time planning our wagon supplies, and starting next Tuesday we begin to travel. This simulation is always a highlight of the year.

There's only 4 weeks left of school and we will be packed with a lot of events! Next week, we start our state testing, so please have your students in school on Monday and Tuesday (5/7 and 5/8) as we tackle the ELA testing.

Week 31 Newsletter

Can you believe there are only 7 more weeks of elementary school? These last few weeks will be jam packed with tons of activities!

Over Spring Break our classroom projector was finally installed in the ceiling! All the money we helped raise during our Tech Trek went to adding ceiling mounted projectors into our Kinder, 4th, 5th, and music classrooms. We have so much more room! The whole flow of our classroom has changed and the students were so excited to see how different the classroom looked. Not to mention we have speakers in our ceilings. Now everyone can hear our videos and music better.

This week we finished a few projects. After reading the novel, Tuck Everlasting students created a map of the important locations that influenced the story. Students also took the end of the novel test today, which was open notebook and open book, focusing on several aspects of the story.

We've been working on our Argument writing, researching the topic of chocolate milk in schools. We have a lot of passionate opinions in the room. After many flash drafts, revisions, and editing we finally wrote our final drafts today.

We have been enjoying the novel, Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit. Would everlasting life be a blessing or a curse? Our class has been having a lot of wonderful conversations around life and how we treat each other. This book is full of great characters and it's been fun to spark some debate in the room.

Speaking of debates... we started our Argument writing unit. Our very first argument piece will be on the topic of Chocolate Milk in schools. We definitely have a lot of opinions in the room and it's leading to very good debates. Students will be publishing a final argument piece after we return from Spring Break.

Next week will be a very busy 4 day week, especially in math. We will be finishing up Module 5 by learning about several different kinds of quadrilaterals. Geometry is always a really fun unit, and the students have been doing so well on all our new lessons.

So many things have been happening this week! In reading we've been working on summarizing complex nonfiction texts which often feature multiple main ideas. This can be tricky work, but I'm very impressed with how hard everyone has been working.

Next week is extremely busy with a few last projects before report cards. As a reminder, there will not be any Friday Folders/Progress Reports for the next three weeks as I grade and work on report cards.


Module 4 Test
On Monday, students will see their grades for Module 4. Any student who received a 2 or a 1 on the test will be invited to a Retake of the test on Thursday, March 8th. Students need to return the signed permission slip to have a second chance at a better grade before the trimester ends.

We will also be giving speeches about our topics. The speeches will be given Monday, March 5- Wednesday, March 7. This will be the last big projects for the second trimester report cards.

Last fall we read the book Wonder which is always a big hit. Now we are reading The Julian Chapter which shows a different perspective to the story. It's always enlightening to learn more about a character instead of just seeing them as the villain. While Julian has not been a nice person, we are leaning to see more from his point of view.

Today we were lucky enough to have Jacob's grandfather, Mr. Callen, come and talk about airplanes and flying. Mr. Callen is a retired pilot and he shared his knowledge on flying. It was fun to hear about all he was able to accomplish. Lots of questions and stories were shared. Creating their own engines was a big hit!

Week 22 Newsletter

Wow! What a busy couple of weeks we've had. This week we finished up our Unit 4, Life in the Colonies in Social Studies, which had us taking our unit test as well as a notebook check. We spend so much time collecting information in our Social Studies notebooks, so I'm always glad to see the effort everyone puts in to their work.

Next up will be Unit 5, Cause of the Revolution. We are finally ready to learn what was happening in the Original 13 Colonies, and what led the colonists to fight for independence. This is always a really exciting time in 5th grade Social Studies.

Our writing has also expanded into historical informational reports. Students picked a topic from a list of U.S. History topics and they've begun to research. This paper will show more of their knowledge in what is necessary with informational writing, while looking at it as a historian. We will study primary sources, maps, timelines, and people to better understand our historical event.

Thank you for all the cards and well-wishes for my birthday yesterday! It was so nice to spend the day with everyone!

Today in music class with Mrs. Robertson, students learned about Jazz music and how to scat. She took a video of our class, and in particular Vadim, showing off his new found scatting skills. I think you will enjoy the video! VIDEO LINK


URGENT: 
The cold/flu season has been sweeping through our classroom, as several students have been absent over the last several days. We've been wiping desks and cleaning hands to try and combat the coughing and sniffling. As a result, our tissue supply has been wiped out. If you have any tissue boxes that you are willing to donate, we would be very grateful!

Week 21 Newsletter

We were very busy this week!

On Monday we finished reading Blood on the River by Elisa Carbone, which is always my favorite book to read. It fits in perfectly with what we are talking about in Social Studies, learning about the original 13 Colonies. The founding of James Town in Virginia is full of dramatic events. I think it was a big hit for everyone in our class.

We also had our very first literature test, seeing how well students remembered the story, and important key details. This test will be sent home in next week's Friday Folder.

On Thursday we had our Mid Module 4 test. I was impressed with how well everyone has been understanding multiplying whole numbers by fractions. The test results will also be sent home in next week's Friday Folder.
