The turkeys are coming!!

Students will need to bring in their turkey projects by Monday.  We will vote for our top winners in the class.  The winners from each 5th grade class will be on display in the front of the school.  All Dickinson Dolphins are able to vote on their favorite turkeys for a quarter per vote.  I'm looking forward to seeing the creativity of my fabulous fifth graders!

Students need to bring a small picture of a nonfiction text feature cut out from a magazine or newspaper by Monday.  The picture is worth 2 Dojo points!!! 

The Fall Book Fair is next week!  Monday night is the only night that you will be able to shop.  You can come shop until 7:00 p.m.  Other days, the students may bring their $$ to shop during designated times of our school day.

All students need to be working on the www.thinkthroughmath.org  site each week.  These are STAAR type math questions that each student needs practice in.

Have you heard of Edmodo? Edmodo is designed to get students excited about learning in a familiar environment. On Edmodo, teachers can continue classroom discussions online, give polls to check for student understanding, and award badges to individual students based on performance or behavior. I have signed up all students.  The website is absolutely secure.  It will be only between the students and myself.  They will not communicate with other people outside of our class, nor can anyone else communicate with them.  I have used this website in the past to assign projects, quizzes, etc. to the kids.  If you have concerns, please click on this link https://www.edmodo.com/about/  Of course, please email me as well.  Students will need to use edmodo each week at home. 

Tomorrow night is our Chick-Fil-A night.  Students that come between 5 - 7 AND sign in, will get a homework pass!  5th grade teachers will be there with a sign in sheet!
