Dear Parents, I hope you're having a good week!

Auction Donations are due on Friday! Please do what you can to help. I have received a few more! Thanks so much! 

Math- On Tuesday, the 5th graders worked on their "dress rehearsal" of the math test for chapter 4. Most of the errors were because they put their decimals in the wrong place. The real test is tomorrow (Thursday). I did have one student not miss any on the dress rehearsal...so I told them it is like a pretest in spelling. If you ace it, you don't retake it! Their next chapter will be on dividing decimals... I can almost hear the groan now.

Reading- This week we read an excerpt from the book Lunch Money. It is about a kid named Greg who creates his own comic books and they are about the size of a credit card. He is trying to sell them  at his school for $0.25. He even goes over his 10 step process. In grammar we are learning about adjectives that answer how many? what kind? which one? and origin? We also worked on linking verbs that connect the adjective to the noun. On Thursday we will focus on the articles: a, an, and the.
They will test over the story on Friday.

Religion- We are nearing the end of our chapter. They will be testing soon!

The 5th graders will be working at the Food Pantry on Friday. It is NOT a Spirit Day. 

Valentine's Day- We will celebrate Valentine's Day whenever we get back from the Food Pantry on Friday. If they are bringing in Valentines, they should bring them that morning. 


Silent Auction- Sarah Lane and I are working on getting a picture taken of the kids early next week. We haven't fully decided on the details, but we may be asking your child to wear a blue shirt of any shade. 

I hope everyone has a great weekend! It looks like if we can make it through Wednesday and Thursday temps...we will be good!

God Bless,
Miss Surma
