For the week of October 6th - 10th

Hello all! Hope you got to enjoy the nice weather and the long weekend. Progress reports went home on Thursday. Please sign and return the bottom portion showing you read the report. If you didn't see one, might I suggest checking the backpack or Purple Home-School folder. If you have questions/concerns please don't hesitate to contact me. I would love to visit with you on how to help your child succeed in 5th grade and how to help you, help your child. We have 4 weeks left until the end of the first quarter so there is still time to boost grades.

Remember, if you haven't turned in your September reading calendar, you can still receive full credit if you turn it in on Monday!

Book Orders will be sent home on Monday. They are due on Friday of this week. If you can, please order on-line. Just click the Scholastic link on the right hand side of the blog.

In Math, we started working on PEMDAS (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally) or in math terms Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction. I included a link that takes you to a step by step guide that explains how to solve these problems.
How to use PEMDAS to solve problems

We also published our first class newspaper this week. If a copy didn't make it home click this link to read. Some of the margins are off when I copied our paper from its original format to Google Drive but the heart of what we accomplished is intact.
