Mrs. Quesada's Class

Week 9

Announcements

Our 5th graders are almost at the end of their first quarter! They have all shown great growth and perseverance! Please be checking in with your student as they bring items home that have been graded. Your student should also be having conversations with you as you look at the weekly/bi-weekly grade report that is emailed to you. I have had students come to me and ask how they can get their grade up, and my best advice to them is do your work well, completely, and HANDED IN ON TIME the FIRST time! Those late assignments do begin to have an effect on your child's grade! Please have a conversation with your student at home about taking these opportunities to improve.Teach them how to be proactive not reactive to their grades throughout the quarter.

We will be doing many desk, binder, and locker checks in 5th grade this week. Encourage your fifth grader to keep their items in the right sections and to empty ONLY their take home folder each evening!

October 6th is an opportunity for picture retakes. More information about how to reorder is coming! Reach out to the office if you are interested!

We are still having our 5th graders struggling to bring the appropriate items for their specials classes to school on the appropriate day! Have these items ready to go the night before or even in the car, so that your student can feel successful and ready for their day! Our weekly specials are as follows:

Monday: Band

BRING INSTRUMENT AND MUSIC BOOK!

Tuesday: Music (Choir) & Spanish

Wednesday: PE (BRING YOUR UNIFORMS!) & Art (Every other week)

Thursday: Library (MAKE SURE BOOKS ARE IN BACKPACKS!)

Friday: PE (BRING YOUR UNIFORMS!)

Remember, if your student is wanting extra practice with a concept, or some timed test practice, our 5th grade Resources page is a great place to find these items for them!

If you are having your student log on to google classroom at home, here is a helpful video of how to log on in steps.
