Happy Wednesday!

Hey class!

We had a short week but a productive one.

For this weekend, the only thing you need to do is make sure that your word work is done and so is any math homework Mr. C or Mr. Irwin would have given you.

You will have a quiz on Monday for WW9 and will be given your new list of words for WW10 that day as well.

I hope you enjoy your four day weekend and remember to BE SAFE and MAKE GOOD CHOICES when knocking on doors tomorrow.

See you all on Monday.

Ms. Evans

Friday!

Hey class, great work today!

You have no homework for the weekend UNLESS YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED:

- Codex
- Explorer Card

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend with family and friends.  See you all next Monday :).

Ms. Evans

FOR PARENTS:

Please remember that next week are conferences.  These are STUDENT LED.  We have worked hard in class to put together a compilation of their finest work to showcase.  I will be explaining where your child is at with regards to the new proficiency grading system, but this will also be a time for students to take accountability and credit for their work they have done so far this school year.

I am looking forward to seeing all of you next week.  :)

Respectfully,
Chelsey

Dearest class,

I feel like we had a great day together, but once I sent you to specials, you forgot how to behave as fifth graders.  You do not have homework this weekend, but I would like you to think about what it means to "live with integrity."  As fifth graders, you know right from wrong and should behave the right way no matter who is around you.  Be the best version of yourself ALWAYS.

Have a good weekend.
