Remind: PLEASE SIGN UP if you have not: I send reminds/pictures/all sorts of goodies :)Text @632g39 to the number 81010 If you’re having trouble with 81010, try texting @632g39 to (678) 785-5100. We had a great first week getting to know each other. This week we will start focus on our regular fifth grade curriculum.
Please have your child make sure they are putting forth 100% effort in focusing in class. This goes hand-in-hand with success. Please look over, redo, and sign any papers that need to be in your child's Friday Folder.
Math: We are working on order of operations and expressions. In your child's Math Journal you will find step by step notes daily on how to do work on the standard covered that day. Please let me know if you see your child struggling on their homework. No need to have a bad night over something they don't understand. PLEASE know there will be nightly homework, but if your child has used his/her resources and still doesn't understand, don't hesitate to email me or write a note in his/her agenda to inform me of the problem and I will work with them in the morning on his/her homework. Math builds daily on previous standards/skills. Division seems to be a hard concept for a large group of students we will be working on this next week, if you want to review any over the weekend.

is a website that your child can go on to review past and present standards in Math.
Your child's password and username is written in his/her agenda and we have gone over how to work the lessons on the site.
Reading: We are working on quoting accurately from a text.
Writing goes hand in hand in ALL subject areas. It is not enough to just write the answer to the question, detailed answers are what is required of most questions. A strategy I use to make sure that they are proving their answers is to go back into the text to find the answers. Most can be found directly in the text when it is looked back upon.
Language Arts: We are working a lot with prefixes and suffixes and how they can change the meaning of words.
Spelling: They can log onto www.spellingcity.com and work on the different sorts. We take them online and your child will have ample time to study at home while playing games or in their free time in class, if work is finished. All Sorts are already online so they can get on and study for the following week when ever they choose to.
Your child has their log in Username and Password written in their agenda's front cover.
PLEASE have them study. EVERY FRIDAY they will take a test ONLINE.
Spellingcity.com has games, practice tests, and much more for EVERY sort.
Social Studies: We will begin with life after the Civil War.
Science: Mrs. Russell is teaching the students Science. Her email is [email protected] if you have any questions about Science.
I will be integrating SS/Science in Reading/L.Arts in here as well, so we will be covering standards constantly.
