Go Bulldogs! Come out to see all of the BJFL players in their uniforms on the field tonight as the Bulldogs take on a win!
We WILL NOT have a spelling list next week. We are working out a system to challenge those students that ace spelling each week, so we're allowing ourselves some time to figure it all out. We will let you know how the system will work once we know the answers.
Instead of spelling next week, the students will have a Northeast Regions quiz. Students will fill out the states inside this region on Monday. They will be tested over this region on Friday. Of course, this will be something they have time to work on and study at the end of each day, too, and we will continue lessons about this region all next week. It will also be on the Assignment Ave. board daily.
We have our first unit test in Math on Tuesday over Unit 1. The students are bringing home a Test Alert handout with page numbers to focus their studying. They also have a study guide to work on (not an assignment, but highly recommended) in order to prepare for the test. We will also review Unit 1 on Monday. Students can access the math website, too, at http://www.everydaymathonline.com to play games, access the textbook and journal pages, as well as have the book read to them. Each student has a login and password--it is coming home today, too. Each student was also told to bring home his or her SRB and Math Journal for studying this weekend.
I updated the gradebook today, however, I'm not sure if the system updates the grades until Monday at 4. You should see any missing and/or late assignments in your child's PowerSchool account, as well as all grades thus far in 5th grade.
Please continue to attempt to sell just 1 Entertainment book for our school. It really holds some pretty amazing coupons that each family would use (even for Kroger). All books and/or money is due by Thursday, September 8.
Have a relaxing, fun-filled weekend!
