We are having our Reading SOL test part 1 and 2 on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Please be prepared with a good night’s sleep and a positive attitude. Use all strategies you have been taught.

Math – Students are to finish all parts of the Yellow (graded) packets. All SOLs have been assigned. Please check HAC to see which SOLs your child may have missing. All work must be shown to get credit for an answer. I have several packets that will be graded tonight. These were turned in today. More homework may follow. 

Science – Students should choose any NW Review packet to study. I am assigning this for tonight, Thursday night, and Monday and Tuesday of next week. Students are to review one nine weeks per night and get a dated parent signature. You can send it on a notecard or piece of paper. Our Science test is on Wednesday of next week, May 19th.

We are coming up on final assignments, grades, and test scores. Remind your child to come with a positive attitude and prepared with the proper materials.

Thanks for all you do at home to help your child at school.

The following SOLs have been assigned in the yellow packet: 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9/5.16, and 5.12/5.14, 5.13. Students should be working on these at school. Several were asked to take home as they were falling behind. Each SOL is graded and listed as a review in HAC. Students must show all work required to solve the problems even if they are using calculators to check. This is serving as grades and skill reviews. The students have the white packet at home to practice there. You can assign the same skills if you like.

Monday – Yellow packets

Tuesday – Masth/Science night – 6 – 8:00. Students will be given a 100 quiz grade in either Math or Science for attending tonight.

Wednesday and Thursday – Finish or correct problems in Yellow Math packet.

Science – Get all work up-to-date in HAC; read yellow packets nightly (1 – 4NW)

The cut off for the progress report is Friday. Please check to see that your child has all assignments in.

Math – We began work on the final SOL this week. Please make sure that your child is completing sample problems in the white packet each night. Five or so problems are great to strengthen skills.

Monday – Practice 20-1

Wednesday – Practice 20-3  We will be taking a test on 5.14 and 5.8 on Thursday.

Thursday – No homework as Field Day is Friday – The fifth grade has chosen to wear purple as their color. All students are to wear any purple shirt. It makes it easier to find students straying from the group as well as students/parents finding us.

Science – Begin reading the 4th NW packet nightly. I will ask for signatures as we get closer to State testing. For now, read for 10 minutes each night to refresh your memory. Don’t forget half of our 5th grade test is comprised of 4th grade material. Let me know if you can’t find any study materials.

Thanks for all you do at home to help your child at school.

Permission slips are due by this Friday for the MS field trip on Monday. If your child does not return a slip, they will remain here for that day. They will need to visit the school at another time. Thanks in advance for your attention.

Please make sure your child is already reviewing for Math and Science SOLs. There should be a white booklet containing examples/practice for Math and the 1 – 4th NW Yellow packets contain all that is contained in the Science Test.
