Our Valentine's Party is this Friday, Feb. 12th at 1:45!
Please send in a Valentine for each student.  We have 22 students in our 
class.

Math -   5 square is daily homework.  The students must attempt to do each 
problem and come up with some answer in order to receive full credit.  

In Math, we are studying geometry, which includes, lines, angles & shapes. 
We will test over Geometry on Thursday, Feb. 11th.  We will be reviewing 
several days prior to this test.

Please have your child go through 25-30 multiplication flash cards each 
day for homework.  


Science - Science questions are due each week on Friday.  It will be 
considered late if it is not completed at the start of the day.

We are starting the last strain of Science - Physical Science.  We are 
starting with matter:  solids, liquids, gases.  Ask your student to describe 
these to you.  

LATE POLICY:  Our 5th grade policy this year has been to deduct 10 points 
when an assignment is turned in late.  In order to prepare the 5th graders 
for Middle School, this will change after Christmas.  Our new policy will be 
the same policy that the Middle Schools enforce.  We will start deducting 30 
points for any late assignment.  Please talk with your child about this and 
encourage them to get organized so that they complete each assignment & turn 
it in on time.

ATTENDANCE:
This year Fern Bluff will no longer be giving "Perfect Attendance" awards.  
This has been a request from the Communicable Disease Control office.  We 
want students who are ill and have had a fever the day before to remain at 
home and get well.  Each student must be free of fever for a full 24 hours 
before they return to school.  The CDC feels that perfect attendance awards 
encourage students to return or attend school when they were still possibly 
contagious.  Thanks for your understanding!  

5th graders will report to Cafeteria each morning.

We have PE on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.  Please make sure that your 
child wears tennis shoes on these days!  Thanks!
