Hi families! 


Our class has finished reading Because of Winn Dixie, and we are so close to reaching our reward for class paperclips! We would like to celebrate with a party and movie to honor the beautiful story of Winn Dixie on Friday, November 11th. But we need your help! In the book, Opal throws a party for her friends that include some unique items. We would like to do the same :) Here is a link to a sign up sheet if you are able to help. If possible, please send in the items by Friday morning. The drinks are to make "dump punch" as referenced in the book. Here is the link to the recipe if you would like to take a look. Thank you for all of your help! 


If you filled out the chromebook google form about computers being sent home, I will start sending those home this week! If you want your child's chromebook to be sent home, please fill out this form.

Math: Unit 3: Students learn that a fraction a/b is a product of a whole number 'a' and a unit fraction 1/b, or a/b = a × 1/b, and that n × a/b = (n × a)/b. Students learn to add and subtract fractions with like denominators, and to add and subtract tenths and hundredths.

Social Studies: We will continue learning about the "hats" of Social Studies, focusing on political scientist this week.

Hi Families!  Conferences are this week! Students have been working so hard on their slides and are excited to present them. Students will have a print out of the self reflection form they filled out, and they will go over this with you after the conference. Due to the short time we have together and the length of the slides, I will have you finish the conference slides in the hallway if we run out of time. I will have a desk set up in the hall with some chairs for you to finish. I will save five minutes for any questions you have or anything I need to mention. Thank you for understanding! Click here to view your date and time. You can still sign up for conferences if you haven't already! If the dates/times available don't work for you, we can schedule a different time, just let me know!  Laps for Lincoln is Friday, October 14th from 5-7! I hope to see you there :) Our PTO generously donated shirts and have been busy counting all of the donations! We are so thankful for all o...

Hi families!  We had such an amazing time at the track meet on Friday. The kids did a great job and had a lot of fun! Thank you to Ashley Spies for bringing and pulling the wagon with the kids water bottles. We all appreciate you!  I would also like to thank all of the students and parents for making my first teacher appreciation week a blast! Thank you so much for all of the treats, gifts, and notes, as well as the recess duty that was covered by parents. I definitely felt very appreciated :)  NWEA Reading will be on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday if needed. We will begin testing at 10:00, so please try to avoid scheduling appointments around that time. Students are allowed to bring in gum or mints, but they must stay in their locker until testing begins.  For those of you interested in having your child work on math at home, last week we completed unit 7 on geometry. This week we will begin unit 8/lessons 1-5. Practice using the IXL textbook would be beneficial....
