YOU MUST KNOW YOUR FACTS FOR 5th GRADE!

You MUST know your math facts (all of them: adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing) by the beginning of fifth grade! We will do monthly timed tests (for a grade). Our first timed test will be within the first two weeks of school. Should individual students score below 90% for any of the timed tests, each student will spend recess time practicing the facts with Mrs. Hill. This is a fifth grade wide requirement and will ONLY benefit your other math skill development.

So, choose a day of the week and practice one type of math fact that day and the other math facts the other days! This is part of your Summer Math Challenge! YOU are in charge of your learning!

School Supplies for Fall

We have an abundance of loose leaf paper that we will use next year. Therefore, DO NOT purchase any more loose leaf paper when you purchase fall school supplies for 5th grade.

Meet Me at the Movies (this summer)!

Cory, Camden, and I will attend the FREE movie at Brownsburg Pavilion Cinemas this summer. The movies play each Wednesday (check out the flyer online). A child's combo is $7.50 if you choose to purchase. Otherwise, you can just come and enjoy the show!

I will post to the blog when we plan to attend a movie. We will be on vacation the week of June 7-11, so do not plan to attend that movie.

Hope to see you there this summer!

Reading Kick-Off

Meet Mrs. Hill, Cory, and Camden on Tuesday, June 1 at 1 PM at the Brownsburg Public Library to kick off our summer reading program. We will add our daily minutes to the Scholastic site, too, but why not earn prizes with BPL for the minutes we read, as well!

Hope to see you there!

Meet Mrs. Hill (and boys) at the Movies!

Shrek Forever After opens this weekend and I would LOVE to meet anyone that is available Saturday (May 22) evening at the Pavilion Cinemas in Brownsburg. The time that works best for me and my boys is 4:45 PM. If you'd like to meet us there, we will arrive by 4:20 to get some popcorn, candy, and drinks. Hope to see you there!
