Happy Friday!
We have a busy week coming up in fifth grade!
Monday(???) we will have our short quiz on the Preamble for those who have not yet completed it.
Your child should be practicing and marking off their efforts on their game board.
Students were given the option to recite it to me today and many did.
Wednesday (???) we have a grammar test on chapter 18 on verb tenses.
We will be reviewing on Monday. (???)
Students will complete the Review Form A in class, we will correct it together, and I will help with any questions.
Students will then have the next two days to study Review Form A and look over their packet.
Thursday(???) will be our social studies test on chapter six.
This test will be given via Canvas as we are going to start utilizing it more this semester.
We started the year with all paper and pencil to get the kids off of their devices a bit, but it is time to start preparing them for middle school.
We will start with some tests/quizzes and move to assignments soon. A study mate for chapter 6 was emailed home yesterday. I have also included it in this letter below.
Looking ahead, we will have discovery nights (virtually) for all current Fairmont families.
As fifth-grade families, you will want to attend the discovery night for middle school on Tuesday, February 8 at 6:15 pm. This is a great opportunity to meet our middle school teachers and hear more about their classes. More information will be sent to you as this date gets closer.
Thank you all for your patience with our hybrid learning, keeping your kids home when they don't feel well, and with our faculty and staff in general. I appreciate the grace and patience that I have personally received. It really does make a difference, so THANK YOU!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Gabay

Subject: Math week of 1/24-1/28
Parents,
We have entered the second semester and with that comes some change. I will be sending weekly emails to my math class that informs you and your student of what is to come for the week. For this quarter I will be sending this email to parents and students. However, at the start of the 4th quarter, I will only send it to the students. I am going to make that transition so the students get in the habit of checking their emails. When they get to middle school much of the teacher communication goes directly to them.
Please use this opportunity to get your child in the habit of checking these emails.
Next week in math, we will continue working on chapter five. We are working with ratios and will have a quiz on Friday, January 28th.
Students need 90 minutes of IXL each week. This includes nights and weekends.
If your child is out for a day, please check the
homework document to see what assignments have been missed.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Have a great weekend!
Ms. Westlund
