5th grade, 

Heads up: Report cards for Quarter 2 went home today! Please look over your child’s grades and return the signed receipt by Friday. It would be great to sit down with your child and review their grades and discuss areas of growth, focus levels, and how Q3 can be more successful. 

What to Look for this quarter:

• You child will be using their project trees as a check list and guide for what assignments are due for the week, what projects are passed, and which projects they are still working on. 
• PLEASE stay up to date with your child and use the project trees as a guide for each week. Your child will be highlighting each project when they have received a passing score. This step is crucial to help with time management for the quarter. MANY students are left with many assignments that are not complete at the end of each quarter. It is your child’s responsibility to be aware what they are missing and what they can work on. 
• A quick daily update would be a great way to begin. We write on our planning page everyday. Some assignments that we complete weekly that you can make sure are complete are:
  • vocabulary activities
  • nonfiction report
  • vocabulary test (on fridays)
  • DAILY Saxon practice
  • a History project (we work on 1 a week)
  • ST Math and Target Scores 

Thank you for taking a little bit of time out of your day to help make quarter 3 run more smoothly. I am determined to create an environment that reaps more success each quarter and assist every student in succeeding individually. With your help each day at home, you can help make that process easier. THANK YOU!
