To the 2017-2018 5th grade students: August 10, 2017 is coming soon and I am excited to meet you all! Don’t forget to bring all your supplies labeled with your name. Also, be sure to have your novel with you the first day as well (5th-Island of the Blue Dolphins). On the first day of school, we will spend some time getting to know each other, getting organized with books and materials, and learning about what my guidelines for the year will be for our class. Please make sure you have a composition book with you on the firstly of school!! They have some at Kroger for 50 cents!!

This year at Faith, I hope to help your child be organized and more responsible with classwork, homework, projects, and time. My hope is that you will help your child with these skills in the beginning but that soon they will gain ownership of most of the responsibility. Each day I will teach a grammar lesson and a writing lesson. On Tuesday, in addition to grammar and writing, we will discuss our novel. I will give homework in grammar and writing on Tuesday and Thursday. Our novel assignments will be given on Thursday so your child will have Friday-Tuesday to complete the reading and discussion questions. We will move along quickly in order to complete the curriculum. I will need your child to complete the work at home and for you to check the completed work to make sure your child’s practice is resulting in mastery of the new skill taught each week. *NOTICE! The homework assignments need to be checked at home. I will check the classwork done on Tuesday and Thursday as well as the completed novel projects and final writing assignments. Please feel free to use the homework you check as another grade. Grammar tests will be given at Faith. In order for your child to participate in novel discussions, they will need to bring completed discussion questions to class on Tuesday each week. For the vocabulary portion of the discussion questions, please use merriam-webster.com. That way we will all have similar definitions. I will not grade these for correct answers but I will take a grade on participation. Therefore, these are important to have completed. They will also serve as a study guide for the end of novel test. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or as needs arise. I will get back to you as soon as I can. My email is: faith.tutorial@yahoo.com

Math-September Plans

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Fifth Grade in Math has a big focus on Fractions. Great Start!!! Many of you have added in lots of review to make sure that your child is ready to add, subtract, multiply and divide quickly. If your child really struggles with these facts I would recommend computer programs, extra work at home or flash cards to get ahead. The student must continue to work hard. Sometimes it might be helpful to do the classwork during the day and add in about 10 minutes of work at a different time so they are fresh. Now Math curriculum goes all the way through high school and then college. You want them to be their best at Math. Sometimes if they can see the fact groupings with hands-on activities will it will really help. We do lots of review in class and lots of hands-on activities. I start with 5th grade Math each Tuesday and Thursday which I like because they are fresh and ready to work. We are off to a great start. I will call or email if there is something I need to problem solve with you. The kids are working great and loving their class.

We also fill out their daily planner so please initial that you see and check their work each Tuesday and Thursday.

Please contact me anytime. e-mail mom.3kids@charter.net

Science

I am SO excited that I get to teach 5th Grade Science again this year! We will have a great time and learn tons! Along with information we will study from your textbooks and Activity Manuals, we will be doing several hands-on activities! The Scientific Method will be used often in class. We will review the steps involved in the Scientific Method on the first day of school!

Students are responsible for being prepared for class. Just a few ways that you can be prepared:

1.  Be on time! Class begins as 8:30 a.m.
2.  Always bring your textbook, Activity Manual, binder (with agenda/planner), pencils, etc.
3.  Always complete any homework that has been assigned. Each night, I will assign pages to read in your textbook and Activity Manual pages to complete. There will be quizzes  to study for as well.
4. Always ask for help! That is what I am here for! My email address is denisetucker6@gmail.com or you can text me at 731-217-2268
