Winter Party Coordinator
Good morning,
We are still in need of a winter party coordinator. The planning meeting is tomorrow at 6:15 pm. These parties are something that all students look forward to and I would really appreciate you considering to plan the event! You could even go in together with another parent to split the work! Thanks for considering!

Chain of Thankfulness
Happy Monday, Parents!
It is a great time of year to reflect on how lucky we are and
think about what we are thankful for. Today, your child will bring home strips
of construction paper for members of your family to fill out. We are creating a
chain of thankfulness for our classroom and we would love for you to join us!
Please write one thing you are thankful for on the strip of
paper with your name on the back. This is not a required assignment, but more
so a fun way to involve you in our classroom.
If I don’t see you before the break, I hope you have a safe
and wonderful holiday with friends and family! I personally am extremely
thankful for the amazing class I have this year. Your kids make me smile every
day. It truly is a joy teaching them. Thank you for your time and hope to see
some links come back soon!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Holtmann

Weekly Update 11/11
What an awesome 3-day week in 5th grade!!
Science: We did our first lesson on classifying living things. We kicked off this chapter by learning how to use and create dichotomous keys!
Math: We worked on adding and subtracting decimals! The kiddos are doing really well in this chapter! Our chapter 5 test is scheduled for next Wednesday, 11/16.
Writing: During writing we talked about viewing our event from different perspectives in order to give our reader a detailed account of the event. We also discussed how we can make our information pieces flow from subheading to subheading smoothly. Everyone has been working extremely hard during this piece!
Reading: We worked in our guided reading groups on looking across to texts to find similarities and also pushed ourselves to find evidence from the text to support our thinking when answer deep level questions. We also talked about how there are different levels of questions-- some that require us to recall facts and others that require us to think outside of the text!
Upcoming Events:
11/18 Wear Flyer Family Shirt & Picture Retake Day
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Holtmann

Another Note: The kiddo's science tests are coming home. Some of them were wanting to know if they could earn points back that they missed. I told them to make the corrections on their test tonight and bring their test back tomorrow so we can talk about how to earn the points back during Science tomorrow. Thanks!

A note from Mrs. Dunsford about Strings Rehearsal
This is just a gentle reminder about the all-district strings rehearsals that are coming up in December. I'm sure that the dates made it to your calendar but I just wanted to bring it up on your radar since our turn around time after Thanksgiving is so quick!
Wed. December 7 Gr. 5 All-District Dress Rehearsal 9:15-11:00 AM
Thurs. December 8 Gr. 5 All District Concert 7:30 PM
Permission slips were distributed last week!
Thanks for all of your help and cooperation this year! The kids are getting very excited for their winter performances!
