Students of the Week!

Valentines Info:
Students will be exchanging valentines at our Valentine’s Day Celebration on Thursday, February 14th from 2:15-3:00 (Students only). If you choose to make or buy valentines, please include everyone on your child’s homeroom list. This ensures that every student receives valentines. Students do NOT have to give a valentine to every student in fifth grade, but they are welcome to give valentines to students in other classes. We will be providing each student with a white paper bag to serve as their “mailbox” for their valentines. Students will have an opportunity to decorate their bags in school on the day of the party. (If your child would like to make their own mailbox and bring it in, that is fine.) We hope that our celebration will make everyone feel included, appreciated, and loved. Please visit our Bloomz site for a sign-up list of additional snacks and needed items. We appreciate your help in doing this! Please, let us know if you have any questions or concerns!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Ward and Miss Cotey
Math News:
We will have a decimals quiz on Thursday covering our work from the week, and then we will have a Spiral Review Quiz on Friday covering review skills that have been discussed all week. Your child will bring their Spiral Review home on Thursday to practice for the quiz on Friday.
Literacy News:
At the end of each week, students will practice our focus skills by reading a shorter passage and answering questions. Students should do well on these if they are participating in our class discussions and activities throughout the week.
