Fifth Grade Weekly Newsletter #7

Fifth Grade Weekly Newsletter #7

October 4, 2010 to October 7, 2010

Hello Fifth Grade Families!

Happy Monday to all of you! I hope you had a great weekend and ready to start the short week. Please note that there is no school this Friday and Monday. I wish you and your family a great four-day weekend!

Please note the following:

  1. Please cover all textbooks. Some kids still have their books uncovered. Covers protect the books from wear and tear.

  1. It is really important that students manage their time wisely. If a long-term assignment or project is due on Friday, please do not wait until Thursday night to complete it.

  1. The students have switched seats and cleaned desk. It would also be a good idea clean backpacks and binder. Please make sure all corrected papers have been reviewed and removed from the STAR binder. Additionally, all old newsletters should also be recycled.
