Mrs. Cannizzo (5B)

5th Grade ILA & Science

What a fantastic week we just had!  Watching the 5th graders take on the responsibility of their first big research project was just amazing!  After the first few days this week I will give the "go ahead" for finishing touches to be added to their essays.  For now, writing will continue only in school.

ADVENT PROJECT DRESS DOWN: Monday, 1/14/19

If you haven't done so already, please consider donating pet items to the collection this week.  Also, The Builders Club is collecting non-perishable food items for January.  Items can be brought in anytime.
 

** Invasive species traps/management systems will begin creation this week.  I have construction paper, some shirt boxes (left over from owl-pellets), pipe cleaners, glue, string, paper towel tubes, tape, etc.  If there is something "specific" that your group needs/would like to use, you can bring that in beginning WEDNESDAY 1/16. PLEASE NOTE: Anything that you may want painted must be painted BEFORE it comes to school. 

** We will begin a new novel study this week and will be working in Literature Circles.  Students will be responsible for contributing to their group "role assignment" each day (once we begin).  There will be reading homework on a Friday in order to be able to continue discussions on Monday. 
Please be aware that any incomplete role assignments will be marked as such in the grade-book and your student will not be able to participate with their group that day. 

* As always, please remember to check the Teacher Pages for all subjects in order to stay up-to-date on that specific subject.  

* Having difficulty seeing the Journey's or Science textbook online at ThinkCentral?  
Feel free to call: Tech Support  800-323-9239 and choose option 3 (rostering) for further assistance.  Thank you!

* Reading--anything--for 20 minutes daily is proven to help increase your child's comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary.  While it is not "official" homework every day, a "Tower-of-Books" challenge was sent home with your student to help make it fun and routine. 
Thank you for your support in this!
