Monday - report cards go home - please sign and return the envelope (you keep the actual report card)
Tuesday - Reading Log due (80 minutes with parent signature and title of what was read), *students who are reading Mr. Watie's Rifles have job #1 due
Wednesday - Fraction Quiz (X)
Thursday - Pictures and/or picture money is due (please let me know if you paid for them online), * students reading Mr. Lincoln's Drummer (in class) ch. 5-8 questions are due at the end of class (if students miss a day or are behind in their reading they may check a book out from me to take home for 1 night to work on their questions)
Friday - Riverwood Middle School field trip (we are leaving a 9:00 am so make sure you are at school on time), Spelling choiceboard due*see note below, Math Minute due

*We will be doing Spelling a little differently for the next couple of weeks.  Students will receive a choiceboard on Monday and need to complete 4 activities by the end of the week (one activity is a required one).

*Force and Motion test is scheduled for Monday April 18 (due to the field trip on Friday)

*SS ch 20&21 test is scheduled for Tuesday April 26 (study guide, ch 20 notes, ch 21 notes)

*I am meeting with students individually to review their Reading iReady scores for this year and last year's Reading EOG score to do some goal setting and discuss ways they can meet this goal.  They will be taking their final Diagnostic Assessment in iReady around the last week in April.  I want the students to have an idea of how they are performing so far and to remind them to take ALL assessments seriously and do their best.  I know that these are all just pieces to the puzzle that make up the measurements for your child's success in fifth grade.  All I ask if for each student to do his or her individual best and I'll be proud of them for their hard work throughout the year!  Once I have met with all students, I will send these home for parents to review, sign, and return.  If you have questions about the scores please touch base with me.

Mark your calendar's for:

  •  PTA's Spirit Night at City Barbeque on April 19 from 10:30 am - 10 pm (we will get 25% back)
  • Powhatan's Palooza on Friday April 22 from 4:30 - 7 pm.  Come out and enjoy some fun, food, and fellowship.  There will be a rock climbing wall, dunk tank (I believe Mr Johnson and Mrs Tyler will be spending some time in there), food trucks, and lots of other games.
  • Early Release day on Wednesday April 27
  • EOG dates: ELA on May 25, Math on May 26, Science on June 1 (dates could change)
  • Field Day (times to be determined) for all grades  will be on Friday June 3
  • 5th grade Awards Ceremony from 9:30-10:30 am on June 8 (Last Day of School)
Be on the look out for additional end of the year activities.  We would love to see some parents come out to help with these events if you are able to.
