MacBooks
Students will be receiving their MacBooks on Wednesday, September 23rd. Please make sure you have signed the responsible use agreement and paid your student's fee so he/she will receive theirs. You can pay this through parent portal.
Students have learned how to access their gmail accounts, and the Google Drive to go along with it. Once the computers are here, we will be using Google Drive and Google Classroom frequently. Your students will learn to use these tools in class.
Student's email addresses are: firstname.lastname@students.bsd124.org. Their password is their first and last initial, and their lunch pin (which I believe can be found on Parent Portal). If not, and your student is needing access at home, I'll be happy to send it to you.
Picture Day
Next Thursday (24th) is school picture day. This is the photo that will be in the yearbook, so make sure it represents how you want to be remembered in 5th grade! Order envelopes were sent home in Friday folders today.

Our Learning
Students finished up a volume/engineering project this week. They worked in groups and were given criteria/constraints for a project and had to create a 3-D sculpture. Pictures will be coming next week! Students also studied paintings by Picasso to create art filled with different kinds of quadrilaterals to help students understand their characteristics.
Next week, students will be wrapping up our study of molecules in science, we'll learn about coordinate grids in math, narrowing down a topic in our writing, and beginning to form book clubs in reading.
