Today ends the first half of the second six weeks. In Language Arts we have four grades. The test they are taking today will be posted after three week progress reports go home. Look for the progress reports on Thursday. This six weeks marking period is only five weeks long. This will cause fewer grades this marking period.
Entry #1 Unit 5 Spelling Test
Entry #2 Unit 6 Spelling Test
Entry #3 Figurative Language Booklet
Entry #4 Multiple Meaning Vocabulary
All students should have these recorded on their yellow grade sheet in their binder. At any time you can request your child to bring this home for you to check on their grades.

If you would like to keep track of your child’s grades as they are posted, Skyward can help.  All that it is required of you is to go in and adjust the email settings once you have signed up.  After you have signed up, click on “email notifications” on the left. You can then choose to receive a daily or weekly email notification. Just another perk of Skyward!  If you  need more information about Skyward, contact the White Oak Intermediate Office.

Just a quick reminder:  Tonight is 5th grade parent orientation from 6:30-7:30 in the Intermediate Cafeteria.  Important information will be discussed about 5th grade.  Hope to see you there!

Monday is Labor Day and a school holiday.  We will not have class on this day.  See you Tuesday!

Parents, there are several things you might want to go ahead and put on your busy schedules:

1.  Be looking for a letter your child will be bringing home on Monday, August 29th.  This letter will serve to help you throughout the year by giving you the guidelines with which we operate in 5th grade.  Also, you will have again a list of each 5th grade teacher’s email address and phone number.

2.  Please make plans to attend a very important PARENT ORIENTATION meeting on Monday, September 12.  This meeting will be held in the elementary cafeteria at 6:30p.m.

3.  Please subscribe to all teacher’s blogs.  Each teacher will be posting important information pertinent to her/his class.  This may include homework assignments, bonus opportunities, project information,  and test dates and study information.

Today was a great day with 5th grade.  We put up supplies and talked about the importance of being a great person of honor.  All the 5th grade teachers shared a sentimental object and asked that each student bring one to share.  We went over the rules of school and reminded the students the importance of following our CHAMPs expectations.  We know after today this will be an awesome year and we look so forward to sharing this with our 5th graders.  Enjoy our pictures from today!
