Happy Weekend!

I hope that everyone is enjoying the beautiful fall weather today!

Don't forget to vote in our poll.  We are wondering what the favorite genre is
in 5MC.  So far realistic fiction is in the lead.

For homework this weekend students need to read and use their reading logs at least once.
Also, please note that a permission slip went home for parents to sign.  Please check backpacks!

To offset  NECAP testing we have tried to plan lessens that are more interactive in nature.  On Friday students worked on a map challenge with a partner.  Perhaps parents could ask their son or daughter if they can remember any of the questions.  (Hint:  Where can you be in 4 states at once?)  We ended the day on Friday with our buddies in Mrs. Bates' second grade class.  We listened to a Halloween story and then the students worked with their buddies to create their own spooky stories.  Our fifth grade students did a nice job helping their second grade buddies to stretch their vocabulary with good descriptive words.
