Dear Families,
The year is quickly ending. Tuesday, June 10 th is the Spring Concert and 5 th grade Graduation. I hope you can all make it. The children need to be at the school at 6:00 pm and the performance will start at 6:30 pm . Ask your child if they need to wear or bring anything special for their costume. Many children need to wear blue jeans or dark pants.
Field Day will take place on Thursday, June 12 th . If you would like to volunteer and you haven't signed up yet, you can still sign up.
The 5 th grade overnight will take place on Friday, June 13 th . We will meet at the school around 6:30 pm before heading down to the lake. We will sleep at the school. Pick up is at 8:00 am the next morning.
If your child has any of the school's books at home, please have them bring them in.
Have a nice weekend.
Nancy Stehno
Book Report Main Events Due_____________
Create a poster showing the main events of your story.
• Read the story • List at least 4 main events, one from the beginning, two from the middle and one from the end. • Fold a 12X18 piece of paper to create the boxes for each event. • Illustrate the event. • Write a short paragraph about the event and what it has to do with the story.
Assignment Book : This year, in an effort to improve communication, your child will have a student assignment book. Your child is to write his/her assignments and projects in it. It will also note assignments that are missing and need to be completed. Mrs. O or I will initial it each afternoon. I am asking that you look at it each day and sign it. If your child spends time with a parent at a different household, I would like that parent to sign it too. It is my hope that this will facilitate communication and improve organization skills.
Homework Expectations : This year I will be trying something new. State Standards suggest 10 minutes of homework per grade level. This means that 4 th graders are expected to spend 40 minutes on homework each night and 5 th graders are expected to spend 50 minutes on homework each night. I am expecting 20 of those minutes to be spent reading. The remaining time is for the daily math homework. Every Monday your child will receive a spelling list. There will be a spelling test on Friday. You and your child can choose how to study for the test. There will not be a spelling packet.
Communication : I will have a web page on the web site this year. I will be updating it on Fridays. If you have any questions, please contact me here at school by e-mail nstehno@gsinet.net , send a note or call at 495-3463 . I am generally at school by 8:00 am .
