Mrs. Barrett's Team Adventures
September 6, 2016
Dear UMAC Families,
Our team won the first school spirit award on Friday! This is one fine example of how well our team is working together to achieve a goal. Prior to spirit day, our team had a conversation of how to use our assignment notebook as a tool to remember school assignments and special events. They were THRILLED when Dr. Marks announced our class name at the end of the day.
I look forward to seeing you at Parent Night, this Thursday, September 8 (6:30pm-7:15pm and 7:30pm-8:15pm). At this time, we will review: classroom policies, procedures, and curriculum. There will also be a sign up list for parents interested in donating, volunteering and great photos of our team hard at work. This is a night for adults only.
Sincerely,
Michelle Barrett
GOLDEN PAW and SPIRIT DAY WINNERS!

Traits Writing
Math
Old friends: Our 5th grade mathematicians have been learning about equivalent fractions. Students are learning how to simplify (n-group) and unsimplify (n-split) fractions. Some key vocabulary words that we have been reviewing are factors, multiples, and prime/composite numbers. Ask your mathematician to show you what they know by “teaching” these key terms to you.
