This week is a short week.  Students only have school Monday – Wednesday.  There will be no spelling this week.

If your child was absent on picture day, or you would like to have a new picture taken, retakes will be this Friday. October 12th

We will be having our hike tomorrow.  Please make sure that your child has a packed lunch and appropriate clothing.

 

 

Don’t forget that tomorrow we are having a fort day.  Students can bring in items to get comfy and make a fort in.  Flat sheets work the best for the tops of the forts and then kids can curl up with blankets in the fort.

We are postponing today’s field trip

Explore Time

 

Summit Fifth grade is looking for supplies to help us with our weekly Explore Time.  If you have any of the following, please save them and send them to school Friday, September 25th

 

Items needed:

 

Paper towel tubes

Toilet paper rolls

Wrapping paper rolls

Masking tape

Cotton balls

Q tips

Tooth picks

Play doh

Hot glue sticks

Marbles

 

Due to our limited storage, please keep these at home until Friday morning!  Thanks in advance for anything you can send to help our engineers achieve their design goals!

Please do not send in treats on your child’s birthday.  We will celebrate all of our July through December birthdays with a party before winter break.  We will celebrate all of our January through June birthdays with an ice cream party in June.  This way everyone is celebrated and we don’t have to worry about food allergies.

 

Thank You for your help with this.

This has been a busy and fast week.

Students learned how spelling groups will work.  This week we all had the same list and we practiced the procedures for spelling.  Next Tuesday we will start the official groups.  Spelling quizzes will be given on Mondays.

We also did our first two math lessons.   We are starting with area and fractions.

Next week we will start our math skills work, reading groups, social studies, and make our tie-dye shirts. Picture Day is Tuesday, September 11.

I sent home a permission   slips for our first field trip.  Please sign the form and return with $10.  Many of you have filled out the volunteer form which is exciting for us to know that so many of you wish to participate in trips.

The PTO fundraiser is coming home today.  Thank you for helping to support our school activities.
