Good morning,

 

This week in Language Arts we are working on decoding words with the suffixes -ful, -ly, -ness, -less, and -ment. We are also working character development in a story, point of view, and creating a mental picture to deepen understanding of a text.

 

In Math, we are working on prime factorization, finding common denominators to add and subtract fractions. It is extremely important for students to know their times tables and multiplication facts for this part of 5^th grade. If that is something your student has not mastered, please continue practicing at home. 

 

Quarter 2 ended last Friday; Quarter 3 begins today. Remind students to stay on top of their work so that they don't fall behind on their work.

 

If your child is absent from school, it's important that they remember to ask for any work that they missed when they were gone so they don't fall behind.

 

Friday 1/19 is Movie Day from 1:00-3:15. A flier went home for students to take home last week. If your student would like to stay for Movie Day and preorder a snack pack for $2, please have them return the bottom portion of the flier with the preorder money attached.

 

Important Dates:

1/19- Movie Day 1:00-3:15

1/23- Mobile Library during class time

 

Please let me know if you have any questions and have a great week!

 

Mrs. Jessica
