CONGRATULATIONS to ALL our Spelling Bee Participants!
Our Mathews' Spelling Bee had 23 participants on Thursday, December 16th! It was an exciting time and very stressful! All participants should be congratulated on their amazing efforts! It was a difficult task, but we came away with a great champion who will represent Mathews at the District Spelling Bee in mid-January!
Our Mathews' School Champion is Diya N.
Sophia A. was a close second! Congratulations to you both!
IMPORTANT PARENT INFORMATION
Take a look at the 5th Grade Calendar below. Students have required nightly reading (20 minutes) each night Monday through Thursday with a short comprehension piece (5 questions) each scheduled Friday. We are excited that students can access these stories using their HMH textbooks OR online through webdesk.pisd.edu. Students may also use the read aloud feature to help with improving fluency. If your child uses this option, please be sure that your child uses the book online or hard copy to follow along while the text is read aloud. (Please see chart below evidencing the benefits of 20 minutes of reading daily.)
Students are required to complete 5 lessons on Dreambox per week outside of school. We have found that this consistent practice helps to solidify math skills and extend students who need it.
Please check Parent Portal often to check your child's grades in each subject area. Also, the calendar below will give you a heads up about upcoming TESTS .
