How to Help Your 5th Grader at Home
- Review the standard algorithm for multiplication. Ex: 25 x 68
- Have your child read 20-30 minutes each night. Feel free to read with your child or ask questions about their book!
- Zearn practice for 20 minutes each week.
Reminders
- Please help remind your 5th grader to wear proper attire for the always-changing Nebraska weather. We discussed that below 50 degrees is sweatshirt weather. Anything below 32 degrees is winter coat weather. Teachers will not let your child outside if they are not dressed accordingly, so please help your child be prepared for the upcoming cold months.
- The character trait of December is Responsibility. We will be discussing and focusing on this trait throughout the month. If your child turns in a complete bingo card, they will receive a ticket and a trip to the candy can. Your child received a bingo card with ideas to help accomplish this trait. The Rumsey Newsletter has more information about the Bingo Card.
