Hi Everyone,
We are gradually getting into the swing of things. My class is a great group of children, and I predict they will accomplish a lot this year.
Homework Help: I will be available on Tuesdays until 4:00 for assistance with homework. All students in my class are welcome to stay.
Spelling: This year we will be using a spelling text to augment the word study program. Assignments will be given on Monday, Tuesday. and Wednesday. On Thursday, a pretest will be given. Friday will be test day (20 words plus 6 bonus words). If students get 100 on Thursday, they only need to take the bonus portion of the test on Friday. We are working on Unit 1 this week.
Scholastic News (SN): Answers to the questions for the September 1 issue are due Friday. Students need to read the whole magazine, as there will be a multiple choice quiz on Friday.
Reading: As a class, we are reading Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. The children will be given the year's schedule for book reports today. Ask what book your child has chosen for his/her book report.
What is the Campbell Card? Ask your child!
Homework: As a 5th grade student, your child should plan to have about an hour of homework each night. Talk with your child to find a location and time to complete their studies. If homework is not completed on time, we provide a supervised place during recess, called Directed Study, for work completion.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me via email (ccampbell@msad71.net) or phone (985-1105).
Sincerely,
Connie Campbell
