The Fifth Grade Team
Winter Testing is Coming Soon!
Fifth Graders will be taking their Winter MAP Tests in Reading and Math when we return from Thanksgiving Break.
Reading MAP is December 2nd and 3rd.
Math MAP is December 9th and 10th.
Check back soon for more information on the Algebra Aptitude Assessment. This test will help determine the appropriate sixth grade math placement for your child.
Yearbook Cover Contest!
Each year fifth graders are invited to illustrate the front cover of our yearbook. Your fifth grader is encouraged to try out for this awesome art competition!
Tips for a Good Entry:
• Use lots of color, including the background. Don’t leave uncolored white space.
• Mix up your medium, use crayons, watercolors, markers, pastels, etc.
• Do not add text too close to the edge of the page. Leave 1 inch of space around the edges, (no text) just color. This will avoid print issues when the art is applied to the cover.
Order Your Yearbook
It's only November, but a great time to purchase a yearbook for your fifth grader! Yearbooks are currently 10% off and can be ordered today. As May rolls around, many fifth graders want a yearbook to commemorate their final year of elementary school.

Thank you for helping us keep down the distractions in our classrooms!
Each 5th grader has a planner that will be filled out each day. Planners should be checked at home for homework assignments, upcoming tests, and other important information. Please sign your child's planner each night.
Water bottles should only have water in them - flavoring needs to stay at home. Thank you!
An important note: all snacks should be peanut and tree nut free. Snacks that have peanuts or tree nuts as an ingredient will be returned home with the student.
We’d love to have you join us this year to help keep the Wheeler community strong.
