Christmas Party Thursday/Sing A-Long Friday

My homeroom students are reminded to bring your refreshments on Thursday along with your Secret Santa gifts. Students who do not behave during the week will miss the party and report to detention. We are working this week so don't start acting up and miss out on the party.
The sing-along will be Friday at 9:30. You can also get detention that day and miss the Sing-Along which is FUN FUN FUN!
Behave and have a great week!

Helping Feed Those In Need

My homeroom collected and donated 54 canned foods for the Salvation Army Food Drive sponsored by the SCA. What a sweet bunch of students I have! They really did a great job and I'm so proud of them!

PTA TONIGHT

PTA Meeting is TONIGHT at 6pm. Our second grade students will be performing. Fifth grade students need to let your teachers know you are there! Some of our 5th-graders are helping out in the program. Do your best! See you there!

One Of Our Sayings In Math Class

All of the 5th grade students can tell you what we mean by this. In Math, you have to work out the problems and check your answers. This takes time, but in the end you succeed with the correct answer. If you try to take a shortcut and not do the work and not check your answers or if you try to "do it in your head," then you will FAIL! So, make sure you aren't trying to take the shortcut!

Area and Perimeter

We have just finished studying Area and Perimeter of Squares, Rectangles, Triangles and the 5th-grade students have REALLY done an amazing job learning the formulas and how to use the formulas to solve the problems! GOOD JOB!!!!!!!
