MEAP Mania begins tomorrow!   You should have received a note home today regarding the MEAP test.  Please read it through carefully and let me know if you have questions.
Conference Slips – conferences have been scheduled and confirmation notices were sent home on Friday.  Please return them as soon as possible.
Writing – In writing, students are working on persuasive pieces, which will also be used as a speaking assignment.  Each child has chosen a fruit or vegetable to try to get their classmates to vote for.  I am hoping these speeches and the voting will all take place on Thursday of this week.  Some students have asked if they may bring in their fruit/veggie for classmates to try and the answer is YES!!
Math – Please, please, please keep practicing the multiplication and division facts at home!  During our RTI time our goal is to get everyone to fluently multiply two digit by two digit numbers and divide a triple digit by a single digit.  Our fifth grade math lessons are about reading charts, tables, and graphs.
Reading – Together we are reading the book titled “Guests” by Michael Dorris.
Social Studies – We are learning about the American Indian Cultures on the North American continent prior to the Europeans arrival. 
Have  a great week!
