November 2, 2016

Greetings 5th grade families, 

Just a reminder that parent conferences are tomorrow, I am excited to share their growth AND I also have their school pictures to hand out as well!  They are a pretty cute bunch!

We have been studying The Revolutionary War for the last few weeks, and will continue to do so. We have a difficult test on Thursday, November 10th. Your child has known about this for 2 weeks and has had the opportunity to study in class, however, it is their first real history test that combines vocabulary, concepts and spelling with matching, fill in the blank and short answer.  
 Please encourage them to study this weekend. They will have minimal time during class next week. They have a Quizlet to use to study and notes from a video we watched. On top of the vocabulary on Quizlet, their test will include the Declaratory Act of 1765, and The Quartering Act of 1765.

We have also been working really hard on our Chautauqua performances. We will be presenting these, in full costume on Thursday, November 17th from 2:30-3:30. We really hope you can come by. They have learned so much and have been working very hard, I think they will impress us. If they have not talked to you regarding their costume, please ask them as we still have plenty of time to be prepared. 

It is so hard to start out the week with such an exciting holiday like Halloween, they are exhausted and will need lots of sleep this weekend! 

Thank you for sharing your little people with me!
Mrs. Mori
