It was a pleasure having the opportunity to meet you on Thursday night and to share information about our class. Teaching 5th grade is a gift that keeps on giving! I LOVE IT! Speaking of Open House, if you did not have the opportunity to provide your name, phone number and email address on the form that was going around (I believe this applies to four families), could you please email Julie Sasso (Grady McSharry's mom) with the information. She can be reached at juliesasso@verizon.net.
By the end of day on Friday, 25 of the 26 students in 5B had touched, held or picked up the crayfish. The kids LOVED experimenting with them. They brainstormed ways to test the crayfish's senses, tried a variety of methods and inferred what their reaction meant. It was really neat to listen to the children discuss possible tests and watch them experiment. We spent about an hour with our class "pets." Please be sure to ask your child about the crayfish experimentation. Here are some photos of the kids with their crayfish!
Your child should have brought home his/her spelling test and weekly spelling grade sheet. As you can see, I grade each of their five assignments out of 10 points for a total of 50 points, and their spelling test is worth 50 points.
I also sent home the Nature's Classroom information letter. Please send in both the permission slip and $100 deposit by October 17th. If you plan to apply for a scholarship, please contact our school nurse, Mrs. Betzhold.
The children begin choir on Wednesday. They will go to choir with Mrs. Platek in lieu of recess.
Please remind your child to have you sign their weekly reflection and put it in their red binder to return tomorrow!!!
Have a wonderful week! Lester Betor and class
