Backpack Folders Go Home on Fridays!
Backpack Folders go home every Friday. They are dark blue and will contain the week's worth of notices from the school. Look for it in your child's backpack over the weekend. Backpack Folders are returned on Monday to be used again. If you did not attend the Open House last night, a white folder with information also came home today.

Reading Logs
Homework Alert!
5th Graders have been assigned reading logs and are required to read 20 min. every night M-TH and once over the weekend for 20 minutes. Students are responsible for recording the title of the book (once), # of minutes read, # of pages read and a parent's initials every night.
Students are required to turn in their reading logs daily as we are working on becoming more responsible for our own assignments. Students can read more than 20 minutes a night if they wish, but that is the minimum requirement. Students are to read 5th grade level books: NO magazines, comic books, graphic novels or newspapers....chapter books only for the reading logs. Any questions, please contact Mrs. Burns.

Great First Day!
The students had a great first day in Room 232! We were the very first class EVER to have a gym class in our new gym. Our gym teachers are Lynda Bannon and George Peterson. We took a tour of our big beautiful school, played some games to remember all our names, did some math and writing about ourselves and even had a scavenger hunt! Today backpack folders went home with forms to be filled out and returned and the students have a "brown bag" homework assignment due Friday. (see hw tab.)
**Please Note** 5th Grade does not go to lunch until 12:30!! Make sure to have a good breakfast and pack a hearty snack so our students won't be starving before lunch. We plan on having a working snack at @ 10 AM each day.
