Thursday's Homework and IMPORTANT Announcements

Hello!

Homework:

Language Arts: Spelling Story
Math: Study Links, Page 85 (Long Division word problems)
Other:

• Please return any overdue library books to BAM before the December break.
• Vocabulary test tomorrow. Please help your student to study. Remember, students receive two points for every sentence; one point if they spell the word correctly and one point for using the word correctly in the sentence with appropriate context clues.
• Students will receive ten dollars each for returning their signed reading log and homework log every Friday. Please help them to remember their signed logs on Friday.
• Mr. Weis is coordinating the fifth grade student newspaper. He has issued a request for student submissions. I will give students extra credit (between $10 and $50) for their submissions. They may write a piece of fiction, a news article, a problem (to be responded to by a "Dear Abby" writer), an opinion piece, or answer the monthly question (Should kids have to wear uniforms at school?). Sorry about the late notice. Students can also email their submissions to me and I will forward them onto Mr. Weis.
• The yearbook committee will be meeting tomorrow during lunch. Students that are interested on working on the yearbook should plan to attend. I will be chairing the yearbook committee and helping them to coordinate this year's issue.
• Holiday Potluck. Next Friday, the fifth grade will be hosting a potluck in room 201. I will send out an invitation tomorrow. If you are interested in helping, please call or email me. During the potluck, I would like the students to share some of the poetry they have been working on over the past several weeks. We have been writing color poems, limericks, and diamantes. I plan to to have them work on one more style of poetry next week...

Cheers,
Miss Klein
