Spelling Update

This is how spelling works...

#1  On Monday we will go over the new words of the week. 
#2  We will talk about the new prefix which this week happens to be post.
#3  We will talk about our science content words of the week and add them to our Reading/Writing Journals.
#4  Homework will always be...Monday-study with your parents not only the spelling but the definitions.  Tuesday-worksheet with the prefix.  Wednesday-Practice spelling test from an adult-test must be signed and all words fixed and spelled 5 times each.  Thursday-TEST
#5  Please give the practice test in the form of a definition test.  That's how I will do it.
#6  Parents sign notebook and planner every night for spelling.  It's a small part of the homework but a BIG grade.
#7  Any questions message me please.

Spread the word...Look at the BLOG!!!!  It's got a lot of info.  Have a great night!

2 weeks down and 35 more to go

Well, we made it...It's been a great week but super busy!!!  I'll be grading papers all weekend so you can see what kind of work your children have been doing.  If there is not much in the folder, then they haven't turned in much.  I will send home interims Friday, August 31 in the blue and white folders. 

Sell, sell, sell.  Pizza money is due Sept. 21 or earlier.  The more you sell, the more you make,  

Washington DC...Here we come!!!!!!

Where did the summer go?

Here we go...Another year of fun, excitement, learning, reading, laughing, crying, and LOVING being a fifth grade teacher.  This year will bring about a lot of changes with the Common Core and teaching with 2 new fifth grade teachers.  I am excited but actually a little nervous.  I look forward to the days ahead.

TONIGHT...Make sure all papers are filled out, planner is signed, homework is complete and a little reading is done.  

                                                   HAPPY MONDAY MY LOVES!!!!
