Sorry for the late Tuesday update!  I’ve been out since Thursday!

A quick warning:  Norovirus is going around in the school.  This virus is often called the “stomach flu.”  Please make sure that your child (and your family!) is washing their hands frequently, especially after they use the bathroom.  If  your child is feeling ANY of the symptoms of norovirus, they should stay home.

We have less than 12 days of school left!  Make sure that your child is still coming to school.  We are doing a lot of review on skills that will essential to 6th grade, especially math.  Also, I am still handing out assignments!  Make sure that they are doing their homework!  I would hate to have to hold a student back because they didn’t get their homework turned in!

In math, we will continue review of different math concepts.  This week, we are focusing on fractions.  For reading, we will continue reading Esperanza Rising.  In social studies, we will begin a discussion on their state presentation, as well as a visual component.

Spelling words for the week - please note that EVERY STUDENT SHOULD DO ALL 16 WORDS:

  1. rhythm
  2. pleasant
  3. reply
  4. meadow
  5. deny
  6. meant
  7. shove
  8. apply
  9. thread
  10. sponge
  11. endeavor
  12. oxygen
  13. nylon
  14. realm
  15. trampoline
  16. microphone

Have a great week!
Ms. Gonzales
