Parents:  I want to put out a quick note about the math.  I realize some of the students and you as parents are frustrated with the "new" math.  Please do your best to be patient and realize that any change requires time to work out the kinks.  Since it is so early in the school year, we need to give ourselves time to adjust.  My suggestion at home is this:  Spend a few minutes only per problem, write something down that shows you have attempted it, and move on.  I will work with the kids here at school to correct things.  Don't let it turn into tears, anger, or frustration for any of you at home.  Also, if you get in a real bind, you may call me at home for help.  My number is 641-923-3409.  If you have any questions or concerns, please call me to discuss them.  I am here to help!  Thank you for your support of your child and their education!!

Homework:

     Math:  None

     Science:  None

Have a great night!

                                this year!  Ask them what they saw that interested them!)

There is no homework in math or science this evening!!!

We had a great second day and are really ready to jump into our first units of math and science.  We will focus on place value in math and cells in science!

Please try and send your signed DOJO note back to school with your child before the week is over!  Once you sign up, you can monitor your child's behavior through the DOJO system!  Thank you for your involvement and help!

Have a great evening!

WELCOME TO 5TH GRADE!!

We had a great first day.  The students were energetic and full of great attitudes!  The kids got an opportunity to meet all of their 5th grade teachers, organize their classroom materials, and participate in a community improvement project.  

My homeroom, Mrs. Kern, and I  walked to River Park and pulled 3 giant garbage bags full of weeds out of the landscaping bed right by Kum and Go!  Man, did they work hard!  A huge thank you to Mrs. Kern for walking with our class and helping us work!  Teamwork is awesome no matter if you are a teacher or a student!

There was no homework given today in my class!  Enjoy your evening!  I'm looking forward to working with you and your child this year!  Give me a call, email, or note anytime you have any questions or concerns!  

Welcome back everyone!!
