READING: Week 6 of our Geology Unit and Weather
This is our last full week for the unit. There will be two - three more graded assignments for this ELA unit.
Core Knowledge Language Arts is the curriculum we are using for this unit. This curriculum offers assignments for both in the classroom and for home use that will help students build their background knowledge about the subject of the unit. Please read through and review student's work that is brought home for homework. It will be different than what has been done in the past. We will use this curriculum until we begin review for State Testing.
Standards: Main Idea, Inferring, Text Evidence, & Domain Specific Vocabulary
WRITING: Writing responses to reading
SPELLING - NO MORE SPELLING THIS YEAR!!
HOMEWORK
Reading: Study vocabulary for our Unit assessment from our Geology Unit. Students will be bringing these home. (They will put them in their binder this week.) Please make sure the vocabulary packets come back each day. The unit assessment will be next Thursday.

Thanks!
Monday May 13th - Field Day (more information to come) Parents are invited! (You may meet us outside.)
Some quick notes about field day:
- We will be outside from about 9 am until 12 pm.
- Students need water, sunblock (already applied but extra for reapplications), hats, and osunglasses.
- They can wear a school appropriate bathing suit (dark colored shirts and shorts over them) and shoes for getting wet. (We have several stations involving water.
- YAY!!!)
- Students may want change of clothes if they will be at school for the remainder of the day.
- They will need a sack lunch that day too. A letter will be coming home this week for those who need to order a lunch from the cafeteria.
- Parents can check out their students from outside and can help at their child's station too.
Thursday, May 16th - Millions Cans Challenge Ends. (We're still in second place. I think we can beat that. Helps us out please!!)
Wednesday, May 22nd - LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!(Both Tuesday, 5/21 & Wed. 5/22 are 60% days. Dismissal will begin approximately around 1 pm on those days.)
Note: Parents please remind students that when state testing is over we are still in school. We still have a couple of assignments left and other activities. Please let them know they are still accountable for their work and for their behavior until the last day of school. It was noted on the field trip form, that students can lose privileges such as field day and the field trip if they receive an office referral. We want to finish strong and also have fun in a safe and respectful manner. Please encourage your child to be at their best. Thanks!
It's been a great year! Thank you, parents, for all you have done to support us. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Thank you for being amazing parents. It has been an honor and a privilege to teach your children. I know your children will be successful next year, and I wish them all the best!
Have a fabulous summer!!!
Mrs. Flie
Millions Cans Challenge continues through May!! We can also take clean and empty food cans and aluminum pans. Thank you for all of you who are sending in cans. WE CAN TAKE ALL TYPES OF CANS!
Yearbooks are on sale. They're $40. You may go to the school's webpage and click on the link to order.
Snack: Parents please remember to send in individual snacks and water in a bottle with cap or twist top. I keep a community snack bucket in the classroom and would love help providing snack for students who forget theirs or do not have one for the day. If you would like to donate items, please send in individually wrapped items with your child. We could also use candy for our treat contain for class rewards. Thank you in advance!
WATER BOTTLES: Mrs. Weaver and I have the policy that students will keep their water bottles in their cubbies except at lunch, recess and PE/Health activities. Our hope is to limit the number of spills we have had due to traveling between classes with water bottles or spills in the classroom. Thank you for understanding.
OFFICE HOURS: My office hours to contact me are each day from 2:15 - 3:00 pm. I do send messages after school, but if you message back I will not reply unless it is emergency. Typically after 5:30 pm, I am spending time with my family. Always check here if you have questions about what we are doing in the classroom, and then if you still have a question, you may message me. I will respond usually by the next school day. I appreciate you understanding.
FREE TUTORING: A company called PAPER is offering free on-line tutoring for students. You can go to your child's CLEVER page to find access to their site.
We are a LATEX FREE BUILDING. We have someone with a latex allergy. Please no balloons at school. Thanks!
Mrs. Magee would like me to remind you all that we will not have birthday parties here at school. You can send in store bought cupcakes or cookies. You cannot send in birthday goody bags for the class and birthday decorations.
If you come to lunch with your child please remember you can only come to lunch. Parents are not allowed to go back to your child's classroom unless you have prior permission from our school administration.
Thank you!
