LANGUAGE ARTS:
We had the first of our Literature Circles (Group D) to present their projects and special shout-out to 5S- you guys did absolutely AMAZING!
HOMEWORK: NONE
SOCIAL STUDIES:
Students completed their file folders and went over homework from last night
HOMEWORK: read pages 90-95; complete Study Guide by Monday
MATH:
LEARNING TARGET: I CAN use division facts and patterns with zero to divide by multiples of 10, 100, 1000.
By mastering division patterns with multiples of 10, 100, and 1000, students prepare themselves to divide larger dividends by larger divisors. Students should use the patterns they learn in this lesson to divide mentally which was our goal!
HOMEWORK: workbook page 27
RELIGION:
Students took their RELIGION test with Mrs. Kalmey
HOMEWORK: none
Mrs. Kalmey
(this is what Mrs. Zettel sent to the staff this afternoon- I modified it a bit to fit our blog posting today for you 5th grade parents):
Sadly, tomorrow is also Mrs. Kalmey's last day. When Mrs. Kalmey first accepted this position, it was for a four-to-six week assignment (we had thought that Mrs. Schleg would be back in 4 weeks). At that time, Mrs. Kalmey had informed Mrs. Zettel that she would not be available after that time, but when we found out that Mrs. Schleg could be gone longer, she was begged to stay as long as she could because she is a wonderful teacher and has done such a fantastic job with our students. She is now finishing her sixth week, but the time has come that she needs to leave :(
In the meantime between now and Mrs. Schleg's return, we have a new long-term substitute teacher
coming in tomorrow to work with Mrs. Kalmey and myself. Ms. Allison Ray
will be teaching in Mrs. Schleg’s place until Mrs. Schleg returns. Ms. Ray will
also be taking over my duties when I am out on maternity
leave come January. We are fortunate to have Ms. Ray spend some time with our
students now, so that the transition in January will be much easier and the
students will know their substitute teacher.
Ms. Ray has a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from
Spalding University. (She is also a nurse – wow!) Mrs. Zettel interviewed many to find the perfect fit for our sweet babies here in 5th grade and she comes highly recommended.
We want to thank Mrs. Kalmey for all she has done these past
six weeks. She has made fifth grade a great place to be in Mrs. Schleg’s
absence; she has held our children accountable; made learning fun for them; and
cared for each and every one of them. We appreciate all she has done for SMA!
Have a spooktacular evening!
xoxo,
Mrs. Thomas
