Mrs. Pittman's Class Update
Thursday, March 9, 2017
Welcome to March!
With conferences behind us we are heading to the homestretch of 5th grade!! WOW!!! I want to thank all the parents I had the pleasure to meet with during conference week and some even last week! Your children are successful here because of the environment you provide at home. Thank you! This week has been a bit tough, due to illness. We have had many students miss a day or two due to sickness. Please keep your child at home if they are sick! It seems like we have a rampant bug running through 5th grade. Remember, if your child has a fever they need to fever free for at least 24 hours before they come back to school. I am going to wipe all surfaces down this afternoon with Clorox wipes, in hopes of killing any remaining germs! We need to be healthy!!
GMAS Homework
Your child should have brought home a pare that had passwords for two different websites. These two websites are what we are using to help supplement our preparedness for the Georgia Milestones Test. They also have a calendar that you will need to initial as they finish an activity. They will turn in the calendar to me each Friday and I will check of that they are doing the work and send it home each week in Friday Folders.
Wax Museum Project
We will have our World War II Wax Museum next Friday, March 17th!!! Parents are welcome to join us!! This is an awesome time to see what an incredible job your students do on these projects. This is always a great experience. On that same note, please make sure your student is working through their project and they will be ready!. Parts of the project are due this Monday. The entire project is due on Thursday, March 16th.If you would like to come to the Wax Museum, we will be showcasing our projects
