It was so nice to see so many parents showing up to open house!
We appreciate all of the donations coming in from the Wish Tree! Parent involvement and support is a vital part of the academic success of our 5th graders this challenging year!
I just found an excellent website full of links for fun 5th grade skill games:

It's hard to believe, but there are only 3 weeks left of the first quarter. Here are the standards we are currently covering:
Math: Modeling the Multiplication and Division of Decimals, Multiplying and Dividing with Decimals, and Analyzing patterns when multiplying decimals by 10, 100, 1,000, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001.
Please have students practice multiplication and division math facts! Each student is responsible for memorizing these facts as soon as possible!
