Grade 5W News September 17th

Dear Grade 5 Students and Parents:

I enjoyed meeting many parents at last Thursday's "Meet the Teacher" night.  I look forward to working with parents to make this year a successful one for your child.

I will send a parent-volunteer form home to follow-up with parents about volunteer opportunities this year. Any parents who could not attend "Meet the Teacher Night", but who wish to be a parent-volunteer, please feel free to contact me by email, if you wish to be a driver for field trips, decorate bulletins, photocopy,or work with students in the classroom

Here is a brief summary of our week at school:


We have introduced a Summer Collage/Poster assignment.  Students will have time to work in class on this assignment during the week.  The assignment will be due on Tuesday, September 22nd. Students have worked hard in class to complete their summer poems and paragraphs.

In Math, students will review place value concepts and addition, subtraction, and multiplication skills.  Also, students will have Daily Math Practice and participate in math centers.  


In Bible, we will begin with the Creation story in Genesis. We have read the book, Creation by G.McDermot. Also, students have designed a title page about Creation.

In Social Studies, we will be reviewing world geography and reading a current event article, "The Greek Prime Minister Resigns.

In PE, we will be begin a Soccer unit.  Students are reminded to bring VCS PE uniforms and runners.
