IMPORTANT NOTE:

In class, we read the classic novel, The Giver, by Lois Lowry.  This is a sixth grade challenge read and one that students were really invested in.  Because of the high interest students expressed, I have been given permission from my administrator to show the movie for a compare/contrast writing assignment.  This is a PG-13 movie, but there was only one scene that made it receive this rating.   If you’re curious of the specific reason, please check out this link -- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435651/parentalguide.

We will be watching this video on November 25.  If you do not want your child to watch this movie, an alternative assignment will be given.

Have a great evening :)

This week

Hey class!

I enjoyed getting to chat with many of your parents for conferences.  Be aware that this year will be ending faster than you know -- it's important to master your study skills, time management and content knowledge before you leave 5th grade... and that is not going to happen by simply sitting in class.  You need to participate, study hard and ask questions if you don't understand something.

Here's an overview of this week:

What's due for tomorrow:
Math: homework (my group fractions, area, volume, PEMDAS work)
Writing: Pre-write for flag project/speech
Reading: Reading Reflection (only if you didn't do one yesterday)

What's due at the end of the week:
Math: POW
Vocab: WW2, Quiz on Friday as well

Special note:
You all start oaks tests in two weeks... don't slack!  Practice your comprehension skills on your reading reflections.  I have printed off challenge math packets too if you're wanting more review or more problems to work on.  Communicate your needs so I can accomodate them :).

Ms. Evans
