News to Know 

• Conference sign-ups are now available! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C054AAFAE2AA2FAC43-65917960-5thgrade#/ 

• I will be out Tuesday, 9/22 for a district training. 

• Students corrected work is mostly filed, but they did not grab it on Friday because I forgot to remind them. We will get this routine of bringing home corrected work on Friday down!

• Reading logs are currently going back and forth between school and home. This is a way to record their nightly, at home reading. They are responsible for a minimum of 4 at home readings of 20 minutes or longer each week. A parent needs to initial the at home readings to verify that students are actually reading at home.

  • Reading logs go home on Monday and are turned in on the following Monday.

• Please use the agenda to check for homework and to also see what your child does each day! Homework will be circled in the agenda.

• Please keep working on multiplication fact fluency. Some students showed progess on their second test but we would like to see more! We are taking these weekly on Thursdays!

Please let me know if you have any questions.
