An update about the field trip in Spring----the date for the long awaited
field trip to the BVA is Friday, April 30,2010. The cost is the same. Thanks
for your patience in this matter.
Speaking of field trips, if you know the date of your child's field trip do
not order lunch for that day. There are no credits for missed lunches.
Fifth grade math is mostly about fractions. Please review multiplication and
division skills each night after regular math homework. This should take no
more than 5-10 minutes. Make up two or three math examples for your child.
You may be surprised just how much practice your child really needs in order
to do fractions well. For some children division is difficult ---- they have
been taught these skills in fourth grade but never practiced them on their
own. Now is the time. Please help them to succeed. Also, try to check your
child's math homework as they finish it. If they are having a problem, help
them to understand.
