Welcome to 5th Grade

Announcements for the Week, 2/5-2/9

2/4/2018

 
Dear Room 19 Families, 

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!  We had a great Young At Art lesson on Friday, thank you Mr. Magovern and parent volunteers! 

Below, please find some reminders and updates for the upcoming week, as well as a brief summary of what we are working on in class.

Information and Updates:
  • Root Word Quiz- On Tuesday, students have a root word quiz on roots 45-60. Students are expected to, memorize the root definitions, and be familiar with the derivatives (true/false and multiple choice).
  • Yearbook- Please be sure to read Mrs. Kresser’s email regarding Yearbook “love lines” and baby pictures (sent on 1/26). 
  • Mindful Moment- We know from brain research that any act of kindness might seem small, but it’s actually changing the way we see ourselves, the way we see others, and the way others see us. As our kind actions affect the lives of others, we feel more compassionate, confident, useful, and in control. We find ourselves feeling more grateful for what we have, and optimistic about the future. Kindness Week is February 12th-16th!
  • MBEF- I encourage all of you to support MBEF. Our schools would not be the same without MBEF's grants for science lab teachers, PE instruction, librarians, smaller class sizes, music instruction, Makerspace, and more.  These grants are made possible because of the many donations made by parents and local businesses supporting our schools. Thank you to those who have all ready donated!
  • ​
  • Student Council Candidate Meeting- There is a mandatory informational meeting on Tuesday, February 27th, from 2:45-3:10, in room 4.  ALL CANDIDATES must attend in order to run. 
  • Kidblog- The next Kidblog assignment is due on March 2nd. 
  • Walk Through- Our class will be participating in the Walk Through the American Revolution on March 6th.  More information to come.
  • Open House- Open House is March 15th! Be sure to come join us and see what a day in the life of a 5th grader is all about!
