Donations
We have "adopted" a family for Christmas. If you care to donate, we would GREATLY appreciate anything that you can contribute. We are looking for gift cards (no more than $20), as well as any clothing for an 18 year-old boy. He wears a Men's medium.
Some ideas for gift cards:
Tops
Walmart
Any clothing store
Gas cards
We do need any gifts that you are willing to contribute by Friday, December 6th. I realize this is short notice, but we only recently (today) received our family's number.
Thank you so much!

New Things Are Happening
Happy December!
New things are happening in Fifth Grade!
While we will continue with our weekly stories/skills from our Reading series, we will also be starting a novel study - Maniac Magee. I am thrilled that we are finally moving forward with this. I have broken the students into 5 groups of 4. Each group will meet with me for approximately fifteen minutes, three days a week to read, discuss and work on skills in a small group setting. During this time, the other groups will be working at centers which will be incorporating the Daily Five: Read to Self, Read to Someone, Work on Writing, Word Work, and Work on Math. For now, the Math center will be online using our smart board and (hopefully) the I pads.
The students will not be required to read any portion of the novel at home - we will do this all in class. The only time I may send some reading home is if your child is absent and needs to do a little catching up. Additionally, center work should not be coming home. It is meant to be short, skill building activities that the students complete during our Literacy block.
In Science, I have two culminating activities planned in the next week or so. One being a Photosynthesis Comic Strip, which will be coming home on Monday Dec. 2. This is a graded assignment and should be completed and turned in to me by Wednesday, Dec 4. The next project is an in-class assignment. We will be wrapping up our Plant Processes Chapter by making germination bags. The students and I will put these together in class and they will hang in our window so we can track/observe their progress each day. When their seeds have sprouted, we will plant them in a cup and I will send them home.
As always, thank you for all your support this year!
