iPads
iPads
All 5th grade iPads will ONLY go home when students have specific school assignments to complete. If that is the case, students will sign out their iPad with their classroom teacher. On all other days, they will be plugged in and charged at school. We are intentional about building iPad responsibility and we hold 5th graders to high expectations on their devices.

Spelling
Spelling
In 5th grade, spelling is an important part of our curriculum. Our goal is to make spelling a more integral part of students' everyday writing and part of the editing and revising process. We will work on a specific spelling pattern each week and focus on practicing the pattern, looking at the word in the context of a sentence, and applying the pattern to our original writing.

Water bottles should only have water in them - flavoring needs to stay at home. Thank you!
Students can bring a healthy snack to school that can be finished quickly so we can continue our learning.
