ALOHA Class of 2020
5th Grade at Mathews Elementary, Plano, Texas
SUMMER is HERE! We will miss our ALOHA CLASS!! Best wishes to you all.
A few important notes included in this Smore for easy reference all summer:
- Your child's final report card will be issued electronically to parent emails the afternoon of 5/22/20. If you have questions, please email your child's homeroom teacher.
- Reading Lists for Summer Reading are attached. (Research shows that students who do not read over the summer will be 2 years behind students who do read over summer by 8th grade).
- Student logins/passwords (in the event your child forgets theirs) - Students are able to access Dreambox, Freckle.com all summer and Pathblazers through July 2020. Dreambox should be completed weekly. Freckle can provide lessons in reading, math, grammar, and spelling. PISD logins and passwords will remain active until the end of summer.
- Webdesk.pisd.edu along with the available programs on this site should be available through the summer. (Great sites include: HMH Reading, Discovery Education, Pearson, Dreambox, Freckle)
- SMS Supply Order List
- YouTube Link for Graduation Video from 5/20/20 (This is a private link and only those with the link can access this video.)
We have loved 'making a positive difference' in the lives of our students throughout this school year. Please know we are always here for each and everyone of you. We would consider it an honor and privilege for you to stay in touch and let us know how your child is doing. Feel free to contact us if your child ever needs anything from our team. Thank you for sharing your child with us this year and for all your support along the way!
Sincerely,
The Fifth Grade Aloha Team
Summer Reading Ideas Below - Please have your child read a minimum of 20-30 minutes a day. Your child should also complete Dreambox lessons weekly during the summer. It will make a BIG difference in middle school!
