Student Council Representatives

Today, students were able to run for Student Council.  Each class in 3rd-5th grade has two student council representatives.  Students prepared and gave speech's to their classmates explaining why they would be the best candidate for student council.  My favorite items that were mentioned include helping the school organize fundraisers, help others to be caring, and help to end bullying.  Students were all able to vote for two representatives, and the tally is in. It was a close race, but we have our two student council representatives.  Please help in congratulating the following two students, who go above and beyond to be role models on a daily basis in our classroom.

Late Work and Retake Policy

Many students have not been completing their work in class.  Graded work is coming home today, and many of their test scores are directly related to their classwork.  If student are not turning work in, or have late work, they are to complete it over the weekend.  Please remember that my request to retake and late work policies are as follows:

Request to Retest: students may retake a test with a grade of 70% or lower.  Students must fill out the “requests to retest” sheet and return by the following Monday after the grade is received.  Students will have the remainder of the week to study and the retest will be on Friday.  The retest may be the same test, but it is highly unlikely.  Students may not retake classwork assignment or redo projects.

Late Work: Each Friday, missing assignments from the week will be written on a list and posted in the back of the room by our turn in bin.  Student’s may ask for 1 additional copy if needed, but the assignment must be turned in by the following Tuesday to receive credit with no penalty.  After Tuesday if the assignment is not turned in, the missing assignment will result in a 0% in the gradebook and the assignment cannot be retaken or turned in at a later date.

In 5th grade, students must be more independent and responsible for their late work.  We have things in the classroom to help them with their late work, and being able to track what they are turning in.  

Again, please do not forget to submit your order for books, I will place the orders on Wednesday, September 6th. Have a wonderful labor day weekend.

Scholastic Book Club Extension

I have extended the deadline to order books until Wednesday, 9/6/2017.  I have received a few emails about some of the codes not working so I wanted to clarify.  Once you are on the page, you can either search by code, or search by book name.  Here are the updated codes, book titles, and authors.  It is ESSENTIAL that ALL students have one copy of each of the books.  These titles will be used in  most 5th grade classes this year. If you are having a hard time purchasing the books, please let me know, and we can work together to come up with a solution.

1. Holes-Louis Sachar-#039258
2. The Witches-Roald Dahl-#84V2
3. Out of the Dust-Karen Hesse-#058597
4. The One and Only Ivan-Katherine Applegate-#53Y1
5. Love the Dog-Sharon Creech-#058647
6. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone-J.K. Rowling-#039134
7. Three Times Lucky-Shelia Turnage-#73Y2

If you search the title of the book, these should be the first ones that appear.  Thank you so much for all of your help, support, and assistance in making this year fun, and engaging for our students.
