This week has flown by, I can’t believe it’s Friday again already! With the close of another week the students have finished up their explorer in a box project and will present them to the class on Monday. They are looking good and the students are quite the experts on their particular explorer!

I am sending home math tests today for chapter 2. We will be moving on to chapter 3 this week, which covers multiplication.  I am also sending home their chapter 3 social studies test. We have been covering chapter 4 and will take the test next Friday. Also next week look for a parent information packet about our 5^th grade science fair.

BizTown is right around the corner and we will be spending quite a bit of time next week making sure everyone is prepared. The students are learning how to keep a check register as well as how to write checks. We are getting excited for the big day! Thank you to those who have volunteered and those who were willing! For those who did you should have received a letter with some instructions on training and specifics for the field trip. If not, please let me know.

A big focus I’ve had this week in class was teamwork. I know that if we can start to look out for those in our class and really rely on and help one another we can have an even more successful year than we already are! Thanks for all your hard work; I am looking forward to another great week!
