Fifth Grade Flyer
week of March 16th
Technology in the Classroom
Many students brought in their signed contracts and permission slips allowing for use of home devices at school. Technology can be a wonderful tool for learning when used appropriately. Please be aware that the 5th grade team has set guidelines for students to follow while using technology at school. Activities must be educational and content related. Students are not allowed to record images or sound in the classroom. We simply must be sure that our school environment is safe for all students at all times.
Please check...
We are very fortunate to have a class set of Chromebooks which we share within our grade level. However, recently one of these Chromebooks have gone missing. These Chromebooks are not currently allowed to be signed out to go home. We are currently missing #15. Please check with your student and in their backpack. We would appreciate a safe return of the Chromebooks to our classrooms, so they can continue to be used to support our student’s learning. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Muddy Sneakers!
We are about to participate in another walking field trip for 'Muddy Sneakers'1 On March 26th, we will be heading to Weaver Park to finish up out work in our Force and Motion unit. Please return your permission slips as soon as possible.
