Happy Monday!

Can you believe that we are already in November? It seems like it was just yesterday that I was introducing myself as your child's fifth grade teacher!

November brings a lot of important announcements! Remember that this is National Novel Writing Month, and your child is responsible for writing a novel that is AT LEAST 10,000 words. This is a month-long project! It will be homework for your child EVERY NIGHT, including weekends.

In place of engrade, we will be using a program in Schoolmaster called Family Link. This will allow you to see your child's grades. Your child received a letter TODAY containing a user name and password. Please log in and take a look around!

Remember that next Monday is Veteran's Day and there will be no school!

In math, we will continue multiplying decimals. In reading, we will continue with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. In writing, we will learn about helping verbs, as well as class time for novel writing. In science, we will begin focusing on the skeletal system.

Spelling words:
1.       jewel
2.       sparkle
3.       angle
4.       shovel
5.       fossil
6.       puzzle
7.       mortal
8.       gentle
9.       label
10.    devil
11.    mineral
12.    influential

14.    neutral
15.    kernel
16.    macabre
17.    margarine
18.    mosquito

Have a great week!
