Miss Fender's 5th Grade Class

Thank you all for coming to conferences! I really enjoyed getting to meet you all! Last week we ended the week with 4H. We had some great presentations by a few of our students and got to do some cool experiments with matter. This week is of course Halloween. Per county policy we are allowed 1 party per school year, so we will not be having a party for Halloween. However, if you would like to send in a treat to share the kids and I can take a few minutes of our recess to enjoy those treats together. We will also have our school reading night! Come Snuggle up witty a good book in your PJs and have some fun playing reading games, listening to some fall books, and participating in a fun reader’s theatre with Mr. Shalin! Students will get a homework pass for coming and a chance to build great memories at school. Rock Eagle flyers came home last week. The cost of the trip is $153.00. Please make sure you are participating in our Butterbraids Fundariser. Selling Butterbraids will make our co...

Can’t wait to see you all for conference week! Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedules to come and speak with me about your student! Please remember that we are on early release schedule this week so our dismissal time will start at 12:15! 

10/11 Hi Parents! This week is flying by! I hope that you had a fantastic time at the fall festival this year! It was a great turn out, and I saw a lot of you there walking around with your students. Your kids all had your eye on me because they wanted to pie me in the face like last year... alas we did not do pies in the face this year, so that was a relief! Ha! Some things to keep in mind: Tomorrow is conference week so the students will be dismissed 2 hours earlier than usual. We also have early release all of next week for our Conference Week. Thank you to those of you that have already sent in your conference forms. If you have not sent in your conference forms please send them with the student tomorrow- if the time does work please give me and idea of a time and a date that do work for you so that I can put you in that part of the schedule. ( I will confirm with you that, that time does or doesn't work so that you know whether I have seen the conference paper again. Rea...

Welcome Back!!! Hi Parents! This week is flying by! I hope that you had a fantastic break last week and that you a lot of time to rest and spend time with your babies! I am so excited that we are all back to school and right in time for this fall weather! Please remember that we have Fall Festival this Friday and that you can buy your child's art work in our art walk- they are $25.00. Can't wait to see you all there! PTA has done such a wonderful job pulling the community together and I think this is going to be something that the students and families will love! Thank you to all of the room parents that donated to the baskets or spent time volunteering. We really do appreciate everything that you do! Look out for Conference Forms next week. I am excited to sit down and speak with you and your students about the progress they are making.

I hope that this email finds you doing well. I just wanted to remind all of you to be looking out for the forms that are coming home to help out with Fall Festival. It is on October 6th. It is a great event that the PTA puts on every year. This week we have been learning: Math: We are learning all about Decimals Reading: We are still moving our way through Esparanza Rising and Responding to Literature Writing: We just started Opinion Writing- In fact we are writing a paper on Fidget Spinners in the Classroom Social Studies: Because it is constitution week we are learning about the constitution and the amendments to the constitution Science: Landforms Over the break the kids know that they have 50 minutes of IXL that they need to complete. They also have a poster over the Bill of Rights that was assigned Thursday and is due next Tuesday. I suggested to the students that if they have time working on it would be a great ideaa.
