Mrs. Jaeger's 5th Grade
Parent Clearances and 5th Grade Field Trip
If you are planning on joining us for our 5th Grade Philadelphia Field Trip in the spring (most likely a Friday in May) you will need to have your clearances to join us. In years past, any parent who has wanted to chaperon has joined us on the trip - no picking from a hat - no lottery system - everyone was included. This year, you MUST have these clearances to attend and be included in the events of the day.
Please see the following message, sent today, from the Central Bucks School District Messenger about having these documents notarized:
Please consider joining us for our Home & School General Membership Meeting at Bridge Valley beginning at 7:30 PM on Thursday November 12, 2015.
A notary will be on hand from 7:00 - 7:45 PM to notarize volunteer affidavit forms compliments of TD Bank. If you have not completed the process of becoming a certified volunteer, consider taking advantage of this opportunity.

Thanksgiving 'Getaway'?
Realistic Fiction Novel Study
I will be modeling my thinking and each assignment for students through the shared text, Because of Winn Dixie. After I model it for the class, students will have opportunities to either discuss the focus question with their team or to apply the skill with their own novel.
Start your conversations at home by asking...
What book are you reading?
Who is the main character?
Tell me about their personality.
Are you enjoying the story of Winn Dixie and Opal?

Student Example from Novel
Science
Next week students will explore; the big idea that warm air rises, that air has pressure, and how wind contributes to weather via the 'wind cycle'.
The unit assessment will be on Friday, November 20th. If your child will not be in school that day, they can choose to take the assessment before they leave or right after Thanksgiving break.
Students will practice their note-taking skills by jotting down information from the lesson (directed by me), illustrating experiments, and drawing conclusions based on their observations.
