Newsletter August 25, 2015
Welcome to a new school year! I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing summer. Our specials schedule this year follows:
Monday: Spanish
Tuesday: Art
Wednesday: P.E.
Thursday: Music and P.E.
Friday: Library
We will also be having Technology class on some Thursdays beginning in September. We will not be having a regular Guidance class this year.
Please remind your child to wear appropriate footwear and clothing on our P.E. Days. On days with good weather, P.E. may be held outside. Students might want to bring in an extra pair of shoes on the P.E. days.
This year our class will be participating in team-building activities. These activities will help students develop the ability to collaborate and contribute within a team, practice positive attitudes and actions for learning in a team environment, and learn to foster mutual respect and trust, creating a successful team experience.
During our first week together we will participate in a "Cup Pyramid" activity and practice our communication skills with an activity, "Sneak Peek." Students will work in teams to recreate a pattern block design.
In fifth grade we will also be participating in nature journaling. Our first session will be on Wednesday, September 16th. Our focus will be on trees and the changes that some go through during the Fall months.
Each Friday students will bring home a Friday Folder. It may contain my newsletter, papers from the office and completed work. Please send the folder back on Monday. On the first day of school I am sending home a permission form for my blog. Please fill it out and have your child return it as soon as possible.
Please feel free to contact me at any time with questions or comments. My number at school is 223-7936 (extension 317) or my email is eshedd @ u32.org.
I look forward to an exciting year together!
