Tues. Aug. 31 update

We got through a few more things today. They have their assignment notebooks and homework folders (8 pocket folder) filled out so check those out. I'll explain some of the details about both of them at curriculum night next Tues.

Assignments today
Memory: I Peter 4: 10, 11. It is due on Thurs. It will be a written memory, spelling will not count. They have a copy in their homework folder in the Religion pocket. Use that copy because it is shorter than the Bible version since some words were omitted. This is our school theme Bible verse.

Welcome to 5th Grade

Hello Everyone, welcome to the 5th Grade blog. I am trying to become a blogger again this year. This will be the main way for you to receive your Monday notes, I can print copies for those of you who don't have access to a computer. We are trying to do this to save paper and they by save some trees. It was a great day in 5th grade today. It was good to see all the new 5th grade faces even though many were familiar faces. We have 2 girls who are joining us this year. If you as parents see them make them feel welcome.
This week will be mainly getting settled, learning the procedures for 5th grade, getting everything lined up and figured out. We will have some work to do, but not a whole lot. Now next week that will be different, we will be diving into the books and the work will begin. That must be why they call it Labor Day, the laboring begins after that day. Mrs. Scheiderer will be talking to the class about beginning band on Wed. She will have an informational letter for the class also. There are sport sign up sheets posted on the Sport Bulletin Board. There is soccer for boys and girls and volleyball for girls for the fall sports. Yes you have just entered in the time of sports and band as choices for things your child can participate in. Band is during the school day, but the sport activities are after school. If you don't have all of your materials yet, please try to have them by this Thurs. so we can get to work next week and have everything we need. I will give a daily update on assignments on the blog, but I won't type out extra information. Monday I will do a more complete letter with headings for "general, school work and sports. I will post that probably after 4:00 pm depending on how busy it is before 4:00 pm.
Don't forget next week Tues. Sept. 7th is curriculum night from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. Parents attend and children don't. You will find out the information I have been explaining to your children and other 5th grade information. I am looking forward to meeting all of you. If you wish to contact me use the school email, the school phone and leave a message or if at night you need some help or other information about something call me at home. That is all I have for today.

In His Service,
Deanna Hollrah
