Mrs. Benner talked with our class today about responsibility for the things we HAVE to do along with the things we WANT to do. Ask you child about the ping-pong balls and rice in a jar activity! Your child can also share his or her list of responsiblities and enjoyable activities from the lesson today, too!
We DO NOT have math homework tonight. If you want your child working on math, please access www.everydaymathonline.com using the student's login and password that was sent home at the beginning of the year.
Spelling test tomorrow-Remember, NO CONTRACT DUE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!
Social Studies: We have a quiz over the states and captials of the Midwest Region on Friday.
Reading: We have Media Center check out tomorrow, so students need to bring their books to return
***One Reading Counts quiz is due by the end of the day Monday for a quiz grade in September. Please check with your child about whether or not he or she has completed the quiz for this month. This can only be done at school.
Science: Moon Journals are due Friday.

T-Shirt Assignment
Each fifth grader should have or will bring home a letter that Mrs. Edwards, our music teacher, gave to each student on Monday. In the letter are all of the details of the programs on Nov. 10th.
In addition, students WILL NEED TO BRING ONE plain white t-shirt by Friday, Oct. 7th. Students should bring the t-shirt folded nicely and in a gallon-sized zip-lock bag. If you need a bag, let me know, and I will gladly send one home with your child. Both the shirt and the bag should be labeled with the student’s first and last name. The bag should also have the classroom teacher name on it.

Update 9/26
Volunteer Opportunity:
Mrs. Edwards, our music teacher, is in need of some parent volunteers to help the fifth graders decorate their shirts for the fall musical coming in November. If you are available from 10:15 to 11:00 on Mondays (our class music day) or another day during the weeks of October 10 and/or 17, please let me know as soon as possible.
Homework Update:
Spelling: We DO have a list this week and will test on Thursday, but we DO NOT have a contract due. We are trying something for a week or so due to the consistently great scores many students are receiving in spelling. I think our time can be better spent on other areas of need. However, I will reassess this for the second nine weeks which begins October 10.
Reading:
We have an assignment tonight--page 27-28 due Tuesday.
Math:
We had Acuity assessments today during our math time, so we DO NOT have math homework tonight!
Science:
Moon Journals (September calendar) is due Friday with drawings of the moon each night. If you did not see the moon or forgot to look, as I did some nights, please try to search the newspaper or Internet for the results. (If your student goes to Math Lab, he or she does not have this task.)
Social Studies:
Midwest Regions quiz on Friday over the states and their capitals. We went over this information together today, so each student should have the correct information to study for Friday. (If you student goes to Reading Lab, he or she does not have this task.)
