Grade 5 Fundraiser: We are selling “Big Box” Greeting Cards, there are 33 all occasion cards in the box for the price of $33 (sold only by the box). We are asking that each student try to sell at least one box. For each box sold, the grade 5 classes will receive $10 towards end of the year activities and sweaters. This was a very successful fundraiser for our classes last year.
This week, both grade 5 classes brought home a card box, order form and instructions.
If you choose to only sell one box, you can keep the box you have at home and return the order form and $33 payment to school. If you sell multiple boxes, you still keep the one you have at home and additional boxes will be ordered at the end of the fundraiser.
Birthday boxes are also available. This is 33 birthday cards for the same price of $33. If you would prefer a birthday box, write birthday box in the comment field.
Please return payment and order forms by October 27th, 2021.
Thanks!

Please study multiplication facts for x 3. I realize this may be basic multiplication for most grade 5’s. However, some grade 4’s only touched on multiplication last year and should review their facts. Grade 4’s should study up to 3 x 9 and grade 5’s should study up to 3 x 12.
You will find multiplication strategies and facts at the back of your homework binder. Multiplication quiz on x3 on Friday.

I have placed a DIY white board and dry erase marker in each student’s agenda binder. These are yours to keep and use at home. Some students enjoy practicing their words on a white board, others prefer to practice them out loud. Whatever works for your child. This will be new for most students as they have not done spelling quizzes in the past.
We will also be working on these words throughout the week at school.

Face Masks: Please be sure to send an extra clean face masks to school each day. Public health recommends masks be washed after each use. We have also had some discussion at school about finding a mask that is comfortable and fits well. Some students are struggling with their masks because they are too big and won’t stay over their nose and mouth. Students are doing their best to follow the guidelines and I understand it is not easy on our class, but I appreciate their positive attitudes.

· Students have been doing well with mask wearing. They have been keeping a positive attitude and doing their best to keep their masks on. I appreciate the effort my students have been making. We have had a lot of discussion about finding a mask at home that you like and making sure it fits you properly. This is very important as we are wearing masks for most of the day.

Soccer:
Please be sure that you send a note with your child if they are staying after school for soccer. There was a lot of confusion over soccer today. Some students were unsure if they were staying or if they had a drive home. Some students were also asking if they could call home to see if they could stay. The office does not allow students to call home during the day to verify if they can stay for after school activities. If there is no note from home, students will be sent home on the bus. I appreciate your understanding.
