Hey class!
Good work today! We started the day with a five, but some of us had a hard time controlling our own behaviors throughout the day so we dipped back down to a four. I would love it if we could strive to get a 5 tomorrow.
For homework:
Math: P.O.W. due tomorrow. Remember, a peer will be critiquing your thought process so make sure it is clear. Study link 2.2 for my class is due tomorrow.
Language arts: You should have your rough draft completed. I have completed about a third of the conferences. I hope to meet with several more of you tomorrow.
Reading: no reading reflection this evening (I promised class time to work on P.O.W. but we didn't have enough time... please spend this time finishing your P.O.W)
Vocabulary: Work work unit #4 due tomorrow. Quiz on unit #4 tomorrow. Cumulative test (unit 1-3) tomorrow.
Social Studies: We began our discussion about how the natives died... you do not have homework in this subject. However, if you want to get a head start, begin studying fact 9-18. You will have a quiz at the end of next week.
Have a fabulous evening. It's Friday tomorrow!

Hey class!
Great work today. I realize there is a lot of work in 5th grade, so it is important to focus hard when you're in class in order to minimize your homework load.
Math: If you're in my group, study link 2.2 is due tomorrow. P.O.W. due Friday
Social Studies: Codex is due Thursday. However, the only item you can use on your group quiz tomorrow is your codex. It would be wise to make sure you have all the information you need written on your codex. Coloring is secondary to the information.
Language Arts: Your "pre-write outline" should have been completed by last week. Today, we worked on your "precept essay." Your rough draft introduction should be completed. If you did not get this done in class, it is homework. You should have your introduction completed and ready to share with me by tomorrow.
Vocabulary: Unit 4 word work due Friday. Your cumulative quiz is on Friday (unit 1-3) and you have a regular multiple choice quiz on Friday for unit 4.
Reading: Complete one reading response (I will be collecting your reading journals tomorrow or on Thursday).
Have a nice evening!

Hello class!
Good work today!
For homework:
Math: P.O.W. #3 is due Friday. If you're in my math group, you need to have study link 2.1 due tomorrow.
P.O.W. #3: The average person should get 8 hours of sleep. If this is the case, how many days total has a person who is 10 years old slept?
Reading: One reading reflection (summary and question)
For those of you who are getting stressed out by this, it is not meant to be difficult. A summary should be anywhere from 2-5 sentences just explaining the significant event that you read about. The questions range in difficulty, so you are able to challenge yourself as much as you would like. The reflection piece is intended to get you thinking about what you read and for you to work on your comprehension. The reflections should not take more than ten minutes.
Vocabulary: Unit #4 word work due Friday and quiz on Friday. You will also have your first cumulative exam on Friday (unit 1-3).
Language Arts: None. We will start writing your body paragraphs tomorrow for your "Precept Paper." (Explanatory writing.)
Social Studies: Tomorrow will be the last class period you have to work on your codex. This will be due on Thursday.

Friday notes...
Hey class!
I am sorry that we had to have such a stern morning, but there is no reason why I should come back from a day out to hear that the class was boisterous and disrespectful. All of you have the ability to be the best version of yourself and work hard to grow academically and personally this year. Remember that the hardest years in school are making the transition from 5th to 6th grade and from 8th to 9th. I am hard on you because I was you to succeed and dominate middle school. None of you are inept. Let's work hard to push ourselves and each other to reach our maximum potential. We are at the end of week three and should really know what is expected by now. You're in control of your own actions and behaviors and I expect that you do everything in your power to be the best person you can be.
Ok... Moving on...
Today we had a very math oriented day. I do want you all to be mindful when you complete your P.O.W. next week that you will be critiquing work. This means you need to take extra care when you explain your steps (so they are easy to follow). If you have questions on your P.O.W. after the normal Monday morning work time, it is important you see me at recess or before school if you're struggling. As responsible learners, it is important not to wait until the day it is due to see me. In middle school, that will not be acceptable. Let's form strong habits now. :).
You do not have homework this weekend, but I do want to remind you that you will have your cumulative flocabulary test next Friday. That means you will be tested on units 1-3 all together (using the same format as our morning vocabulary warm ups -- fill in the blank, synonym, antonyms) AND you will take a normal unit 4 vocab test (multiple choice). The cumulative test should not be mind-blowing if you have been using your words and reviewing them a little each day.
I hope you all have a great weekend with your families. It is my objective that we strive to get all "5's" next week.
