Miss Rodgers (Fifth Grade)-

It is winter time. Make sure that you are dressing warm because we
will be going outside every day.
Science- We will be discussing the Solar System and learning about the Earth’s surface.
Math- We will be learning about decimals and place values.
Reading- We are still working with the Daily 5 and the Café Menu. Everyone seems to have found a good fit book and are doing a great job with their word work.
Social Studies- We will be talking about the Louisiana Purchase, Lewis and Clark, and the Oregon Trail.
Writing- We will continue to work on improving the students overall writing skills including proper grammar use and spelling. We will also start two major papers; a personal narrative and a persuasive piece.
BOOK IT!
Please encourage your child to read at home for BOOK IT! The goal is 300 minutes for the month. If your child reaches the goal he/she will receive a coupon for a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut. I will be sending home a calendar for your student to keep track of how many minutes they are reading. This needs to be returned by January 31st and signed by a parent.
SCHOLASTIC BOOK ORDERS
When you buy books from Scholastic our class earns bonus points that I can use to buy additional book for the classroom. You are also able to order online, which gives our class even more points. I will be sending home order forms. Our class activation code is JPHZC.
Important Dates

- February 10th- Valentines Dance
- February 20th- No School

Dear Parents,

We want to inform you of the progress our students made during the 2008-2009 school year. We constantly review each student's learning progress to be certain that we are "on track." One way we do this is by employing a widely used and nationally validated achievement test. This test is administered throughout the United States to hundreds of thousands of children annually, both at the beginning, and again at the end of the school year.

Our students have completed the spring test and we can now judge the results of our students' and out teachers' efforts this school year.

Our charts demonstrate the results in greater detail.

We welcome others to join us for the 2010 - 2011 school year!
