Parent Teacher Conferences

Please make sure to check your child's Friday Folder for their Parent Teacher Conference confirmation sheet.  Please let me know asap if the day/time of your conference will not work.  I look forward to visiting with everyone during conference week.

Check out some pictures below from our Fall Party, Native American Projects, and other 5th grade fun.

Parent Teacher Conferences

Check your child's Friday Folder for the Parent Teacher Conference Sign Up form.  In 5th grade, we love to have the students attend the conference if possible, so make sure to choose some dates/times that work for both you and your child.  If you are not able to attend a conference during the times listed on the sheet, please send me an email, so we can find a time that works. I look forward to talking with everyone next month.

Fall Party

Don't forget our Fall Party is on Thursday, October 25th at 1:45.  If you would like to sign up to help or donate visit this link: 5th Grade Fall Party

RBE Morning Announcements

This month our class has been reading the morning announcements to RBE over the intercom.  Everyone who has volunteered to read has done a great job!

Trip to the Planetarium

Last week we visited the Planetarium at RBHS.  We watched an interesting program called "Journey to Earth." We also got to hang out in the halls of RBHS while we waited for our bus. :)

Lunch in the Trailer E!

Book Projects

Many students shared their book projects today.  It was fun to see the students' creativity shine as they shared about a book to the class.

Congrats to the newest Character Kids!

5th Grade Happenings

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who brought in treats for our Class Celebration on Tuesday!  We had a lot of yummy desserts and the kids enjoyed being comfy and watching Maniac Magee (although we ALL agreed, the book was much better!).  Also, thanks to everyone who sent in donations for our class gift card for the Chicken BBQ.  The kids voted to get a Shakespeare's gift card, so you can look for that at the BBQ Silent Auction.

Chicken BBQ

Please don't forget to send in your ticket packets!  Also, the bbq planning committee still is in need of volunteers and lots of pies!  Check out the links to below to sign up!

Book Projects

This week we discussed expectations for book projects.  Students filled out the book project planning sheet to show me (and you!) that they have ideas for what they need to do to complete their book project by the due date (October 19th). I also showed the class how they can use the class blog to get info about book projects, if needed.

States and Capitals

This week we began identifying the states and capitals of the southwest region.  We will continue with this practice through all the U.S. regions.  We will spend 1-2 weeks per region.  We spend some time on it at school, but your child may need a little more practice at home too.

Call for Batteries!

Next week, many students will be ready to start typing their final copies of their personal narrative.  We have bluetooth keyboards for our Ipads, but we are need of AAA batteries to power them (unfortunately, the keyboards drain batteries rather quickly).  If you are able to send in some AAA batteries, I would really appreciate it!

Check out some pictures of our learning and fun the past two weeks!

Science

In science we learned that air makes up a lot of the weight of plants and trees.  To see if air has mass, we made a balance scale and added blown up balloons to each side.  After deflating one side of balloons, we could see the scale move to show that air has mass.

We also are learning about decomposers in a food chain.  Ask your child about our Mold Terrariums.

Dot Day

On Dot Day we helped our Kindergarten Buddies learn how to make their mark by being creative with an art project and our Ipads.
