Open House Fifth Grade: Mrs. Newhard
Terrific Tiger Behavior Students are expected to follow the 5 Tiger Rules at all times throughout the day. Students who are exhibiting appropriate behavior in school situations will on occasion be rewarded with a Tiger Paw. Students will be required to fill out a “Think Sheet” if they are not following the rules - These will be sent home and require a parent signature. Please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions regarding your child’s behavior.
Reader’s Logs 400 pages per marking Many of your children will be able to complete their reading during the school day. It sounds confusing, but it’s really simple.
Reader’s Log continued One log per book One-two projects per marking period If your child is struggling to complete this requirement, please let me know so I can help you solve this problem. My goal is for them to love reading and help improve their comprehension.
Math Topic 1 was completed in their homeroom. The students will be grouped for the remainder of the year to help meet their needs. We take a quiz at the end of each topic. This give us a chance to review with students if necessary. The quiz will be completed on the chromebook. A test will be given at the end of each topic. It is hard to determine test dates in advance so please check your child’s assignment book.
Science and Social Studies Will be taught in homeroom. We will alternate one social studies unit and then one science unit.
Homework Homework is always written on the homework board in each classroom. Provide a quiet place for your child to complete his/her homework. Homework should take minutes most nights.
