In 5th grade we go on several study trips. One trip is to Indianapolis where we will visit Top Golf, Rascals Fun Zone, and watch an Indianapolis Indians game. Another field trip will be to the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame and the Indiana State Museum. Our last field trip will be to SIA and Texas Roadhouses.
I encourage all parents to send in birthday treats for the class on your child's birthday or half birthday. They can be brought in with your child or dropped off in the office. All treats should be store bought . They also need to be individually wrapped and prepackaged. Some great treats are: cupcakes, cookies, candy, brownies, or anything individually wrapped. Please send enough treats for each child. Please also send in napkins or plates. Please be conscientious of any allergies that our class may have.
One way that all parents will be able to help is to look for the Friday folder every week. In the Friday folder you will find important information from the school and me. You will also find graded papers and school information. Please check your email often as I like to send out notices, biweekly letters, and reminders.
I use the DOJO website and App to keep parents updated. There I will post the latest classroom newsletters, important reminders, project information, and notices. I also post pictures and videos of what is happening in the classroom. At the beginning of the year I will send out information on how you can become a member of my School Status classroom. This is a private classroom, so only those invited and approved will be able to view it.
Students are encouraged to bring a water bottle to school. They should bring their water bottles filled and ready to go. They will keep the water bottles at their seat. Please clearly label your child's water bottle.
