CLASS UPDATE
We have a wonderful class this year with 27 fifth graders. They are motivated, focused and fun to teach. Our learning adventure has commenced!
On Monday, as you know, the big excitement is the Eclipse that will be starting a little after 9am. Our class will attempt to safely view the eclipse with the pinhole projector that our school administration made. Your child's safety is my utmost concern so I will ensure that everybody's back is facing the sun when we are outside. As usual, it will MOST likely be foggy at that time of the day. If this is the case, we will watch the live stream of the eclipse at: http://eclipse.stream.live/
If interested, you may sign up for a Parent Volunteer time here on this google doc:

Please let me know if you do not receive an email from me as I entered all of the parent emails I received into my Comcast acct, but sometimes it glitches. Also, please do not "reply all" unless necessary!
If you receive an invite to igradeplus.com, please create an acct. to view your child's progress. I can only send it to one e-mail so please share the account with each other.
Listed below is what our class is learning this week:
ELA- This week our class will kick off our study of "Nature's Fury" by reading a story entitled, Earthquake Terror and focus on "Sequence of Events" as our reading skill. In reading we will be taking our online Star Test to help establish our Accelerated Reader Goals for the first trimester. I will send home the goal sheet this week. We will also be reading nonfiction NEWSELA articles at home. Our first one will be on the Eclipse!
(RTI does not start until late September)
In writing our class will be continuing our Bio Poems and Summer Memories and we will be starting Writer's Workshop.
In Math we will be reviewing, playing a variety of learning games, and finishing our placement assessment in Moby Max. We will start Bridges Math on Monday, August 28th.
History-We start our unit of study on the Explorers.
Papers will go home on Mondays and students may correct their mistakes in BLUE pen and return them for better grades. Also, if your child is struggling in any assignment, I am available every day before school from 7:40-7:55 to help, especially in Math!
See you at school!
Mr. Sweet
