October 5 Week at a Glance

 

Note from the Teacher
            We are certainly ready for a little break!  I hope you have a great break and enjoy the beautiful fall weather. 

Please look for project guidelines for The Indian in the Cupboard sent home in Friday folders. We discussed the guidelines together and set a due date of October 19.  We hope to finish reading the book next week! 

Since the grading period will be ending soon, please pay attention to your child's planner, Friday folder work, and PowerSchool.  I want everyone to be on the same page to support our students with a strong first quarter.  Also, I will be scheduling conferences soon.  More details to follow next week concerning dates and times. 

As always, thanks for all you do to support fifth grade!
