Fall Parent / Teacher Conferences
Fall Parent / Teacher Conferences
Our goal is to meet with each of you this semester to discuss your child, whether they are struggling at school or not! We have created a Sign Up Genius (linked below) for you to sign up for a conference. We have been given half-day subs on Wednesday, October 22nd, to schedule meetings during the school day. The rest of the available conferences are mostly on Wednesdays and Thursdays during our conference time (11:20-11:55) until December.
Each of us will meet with the families of our homeroom students. If you need to speak with a teacher who is not your child's homeroom teacher, please sign up under that teacher's link. If would like to meet with all 5th grade teachers, please send us an email noting that after you sign up. Before meeting with you, we will speak to your child's other 5th-grade teachers to obtain notes they would like us to share with you during the conference. All conferences will be held on Web-ex, but if you prefer to meet in person please let that teacher know.
Please The sign-up for conferences is below:

Please Bring Jackets / Coats to School!
Please Bring Jackets / Coats to School!
We kindly ask that students begin to bring their jackets or coats to school every day. The temperatures will be unpredictable, so it is better to have one. Any student who doesn't have a jacket or coat when it is below a specific temperature outside will not be able to go out for recess. Thank you!

Reading/Language Arts:
I can analyze the different parts of a story—the characters, the setting, and the plot—and explain how they all work together to develop the central message, or theme, of the text.
I can identify a story's point of view (first-person or third-person) and explain how the narrator's perspective influences the way all the events are described.
I can use the correct form of verbs to show when an action happens (past, present, or future) and keep the tense consistent throughout my writing.
I can recognize when two vowels are next to each other in a word (VV pattern) and divide the word into separate syllables between those two vowels to accurately read the whole word.
Math:
I can add and subtract fractions and decimals.
I can use objects and pictorial models to solve problems involving multiplying a whole number by a fraction and a fraction by a whole number
Science:
Students predict how changes in the ecosystem affect the cycling of matter and flow of energy in a food web.

I can describe the firsthand accounts of the Siege of Yorktown.

5th Grade Community Service Initiative
5th Grade Community Service Initiative
We have a goal this year for 5th-grade students to complete 8 hours of community service outside of the school day by the end of the year (4 hours per semester). Students who achieve 4 hours by December 5, 2025, and an additional 4 hours by May 1, 2026, will receive a party to celebrate their achievements. When your child completes community service, please be sure they are logging their time in the Google Form linked below. We have hung a tracker poster (pictured here to the left) we plan to hang in the 5th-grade hallway to track the hours completed as the school year progresses. We cannot wait to see the tracker fill up! This is an optional opportunity for students, but we hope to see several participate!
Also, if you snap photos of your child during their community service, please send them our way! We would love to see the work they are doing.
