Important Information to Help Your Student!
Kindness Matters!!!
We are struggling with respect and kindness in 5th grade. We remind our students daily that how you speak to others matters just as much as what you are saying. We understand that not everyone is going to be friends, however we expect EVERYONE to treat others with respect. It's like the old adage goes - If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.
On the other hand we are a community, if you see someone being unkind please speak up!!!
Do not be a bystander.
Tell them to stop!
Tell them what they are doing is wrong!
Offer solutions, or another way to handle the situation!
If the problem can't be resolved PLEASE get a teacher, so that we can help!
Ways to Be Kind to Others
- Smile at everyone you pass in the hallway, in the store, or walking on the sidewalk
- Hold the door open for people
- Sit by someone who's eating alone
- Put your phone away and give someone your full attention

- When you experience something good, share it with people (a book, social media post, YouTube video, article, etc…)

Calling all Entrepreneurs
We think it is fabulous that some of our kiddos have an entrepreneur spirit, however we kindly ask that students refrain from selling things at school. Thank You!
What Can We Work on at Home?!?
You may have noticed that your student does not have daily homework. However your student is responsible for bringing a fact grid to Math class every day! The only time a student should have homework is to make-up missed work from an absence or work that was not completed in class. Here are some suggestions if you want your student to have extra practice.
Daily Fact Grid (multiplication chart 1-12 & 25's)
Read daily for at least 20 minutes
Practice fact fluency (multiplication & division)
Log in to ClassLink and work on Math, Reading, Science, and Social Studies in Progress Learning (this used to be Education Galaxy), or check out Sora, our online digital library.
