Hello Fifth grade Families,
Welcome to a new year. It was great to see all the smiling fifth grade faces upon their return back to school. We have a few fun learning activities that I want you to be aware of, one requires a send in item.
In Reading, we will start reading Mr. Blue Jeans, the biography of Levi Strauss. Before we begin the book, we are going to do a project using denim fabric. If you have old jeans of any size or color that you are getting rid of, please send them in. I'd like for each student to have 1 pair that can be cut up by Monday, Jan. 13. Along with that request, I just have 2 pairs of scissors that can be used for fabric. If you have sewing scissors that you can wrap up and send in with your child to use, I will remind they are very sharp and for fabric only. It would be great if we can get another 8 pairs of scissors to make the work go more quickly. We should only need them for 1-2 days.
With the reading of the book, we will also have vocabulary quizzes. Your student will have a study guide, so remind them to study their words for the quiz. The quiz is planned for next Tuesday.
Thanks for your help. Hope your new year is off to a great start!
