Homework

Complete your heritage report.

I will not be assigning any homework over the break. I do hope, though, that you will continue to read each day!

Homework

Continue to work on your heritage report. Show your parents the "Final Reminders" sheet.

Remember to get a good night's sleep. We'll be taking the second half of the math CST tomorrow.

Sorry I'm posting this so late. My classroom internet wasn't working today!!!

Hello everyone,
We will begin standardized testing tomorrow. As the fifth graders have to take a science test on top of the regular math and language arts, I need to get them started this week.
The only homework I'm assigning this week is the heritage report which is due this Thursday. I neglected to hand out a final reminders sheet today, so I attached a copy in the homework section of this blog. I will send home a hard copy tomorrow.

Thanks and have a great week. The much longed-for spring break is almost here!

Homework

Keep working on your heritage report! See final reminders below.

***Get a good night's sleep and eat a nourishing breakfast!
