Happy Friday and happy spring break! This week marked the end of quarter 3 and we can't believe that when we return from break, there will only be 9 weeks left of school! Here are a few updates and reminders:
- Friday, April 8th - Sunday, April 17th = Spring Break!!! Enjoy! - Monday, April 18th = Return to School - 3rd Quarter Report Card Conferences = A sign up form was sent out by homeroom teachers. If you would like a conference, please remember to sign up. We will be offering both in-person and virtual conferences. - Wednesday, April 20th = Report Card Pickup Day - NO School for students - Text Structure Quiz (217) = Tuesday, April 19th - Greek & Latin Unit 9 Test = Friday, April 22nd - Vaccine Cards = When your student is fully vaccinated, you can submit a picture of the vaccine card to have on record by emailing a copy to Nurse Annie --> [email protected] - Mask Optional starting Monday, March 14th = The only students who will be required to wear masks will be those returning from a quarantine from having Covid or being exposed for days 6-10. Students who are exposed, even if they are fully vaccinated without exhibiting any symptoms, will have to mask through day 10. An email will be sent if your child needs to do so. - Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) & Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) = If your child missed any of the IAR tests, they will begin make-up testing after we return from break. - Quarter 4 = As we begin quarter 4 after break, we are hoping to end the year with the best work completion yet! We will be continuing to have students check Aspen weekly and encouraging them to be turning in missing work sooner than later. - Math Facts = Remember to practice your multiplication facts regularly up to 12! Here are some academic updates from this past week: - ELA (201) = We have been working on typing up our different articles for our magazine project! - ELA (217) = We have been learning about writing paragraphs utilizing different text structures! - SS = We have been learning about how to be an informed citizen and seeing what changes we would make to the Preamble from the Declaration of Independence. - Math (201) = This week we investigated three-dimensional shapes like cubes and rectangular prisms. We made nets and began to understand how volume and surface area are measured. We will continue this topic after break. - Math (217) = This week we finished our similar figures unit with our unit test. We also got started on the unit project and have been working on creating a scale drawing using scale factor. Our next unit is all about ratios and proportions. - Science = This week we studied the scientific method in preparation for choosing projects for the Science Fair. Project proposal forms were sent home and need to be completed by Monday, April 25th. This form is where each student will describe the project they will be completing for the 5th Grade Science Fair. We hope that everyone is able to have a restful and enjoyable spring break! Mrs. Kovar & Mrs. Parsons
