Oh my goodness!!! I couldn't believe all you did for my birthday last week.
You really out did yourselves. I couldn't wait to go to get a new charm for
my bracelet. (I got the apple to remind me of this precious class.) Next
stop Talbots.
Our classroom is about back to normal. We only had one out today but we will
keep on disinfecting every chance we get.
Social Studies projects were sent home today. They are due December 14th and
we will have pockets due each week to help the students pace themselves. Our
first pocket "Historical Person" is due Monday. Please do not send the work,
just initial the hot pink sheet in your child's binder confirming the pocket
is complete. I have encouraged them to work ahead if they have time and not
wait till the last minute. All of the sheets for each pocket can also be
found on my websitein the documents section.
We are currently studying:
Reading - Comprehension Strategies
Language Arts - Narrative Writing and Poetry
Math - Fractions
Social Studies - Immigration and Industry
Science - Matter

AGENDAS
We will be filling out agendas as a class each day. You can be a tremendous
help to your child by going over the assignments in the agenda and making
sure they have completed each one. Please sign your child’s agenda daily,
even on Friday.
FRIDAY FOLDERS
Friday Folders will contain graded and sometimes non-graded assignments as
well as important papers that need to be returned to school. Additionally,
you will find a behavior chart attached in the folder. Please initial on
the appropriate week so that we know you have seen the enclosed work.
NOTES TO SCHOOL
Whenever your child has to miss school please send in a note the following
day. Additionally, Cobb County requires a doctor note for any absence due to
a doctor/dentist/orthodontist appointment.
IMMUNIZATIONS
All fifth grade students need two doses of the chicken pox vaccine and an
updated medical form before going on to 6th grade. As you take your child
for a check up this year please request a form that we can add to their file.
