This Week in Room 33! Dec.17-20

What to expect this week in 5th grade:

Math- We will have our Ch. 12-13 test on Tuesday. Students can study their notebooks, homework sheets, textbook, and ebook website (eharcourtschool.com username: tfifth, password: pass). 

Social Studies- We are finishing up our study on the New England Colonies. There will not be a test on this chapter.

Reading- We will be discussing story elements (characters, setting, problem, solution) this week in some of our favorite holiday books. We will also continue literature circles and guided reading small groups.

Writing- We will finish up our letters about our personal narratives in class.


Adopt-a-Family- I am SO proud of our class! We brought in a total of 802 items! We were determined to make it to 800 items to earn our tent party and we DID IT! :) The "tent" or fort party will be on Thursday morning. Students can bring in blankets, pillows, and their favorite holiday books to read. They will be allowed to make tents using our chairs and their blankets and will get to read and share their books. Students are NOT allowed to bring in real tents.

Caroling- On Wed., 5th graders will be caroling at Delmar Gardens of Meramec Valley in Fenton at 10:00 a.m. and Friendship Village at 11:00 a.m.

  • We will board buses at 9:15 a.m., leave at 9:30 a.m., and return to school by 12:00 noon.
  • Students will wear their 5th grade t-shirts. I am keeping the shirts here in the classroom for them to change into Wed. morning.
  • We will have a pizza lunch that day. Students should bring in a drink.
Winter Party- Our winter party will be this Thursday from 2-3. :)

No School Friday!

Wishing you and your family a wonderful winter break! Happy Holidays! :)
