State Reports are coming soon!

Hello!
We are off to a running start this January!! We have district testing in language arts this week, math next Wednesday, as well as end of term 2 on Friday.  Report cards will be saved for SEP's on February 5th and 6th ~ sign up online as soon as you can.  If you're not sure how, I think there are directions in the Westridge Wednesday Wildcat.

State Report Packets are being assembled as I write.  Your student selected a state on Monday and will be doing research and other fun assignments about their state.  We will wrap up the research with a State Fair in the gym on March 6th at 2:00.  Parents are invited!  The packets have all the due dates and summaries of what each assignment entails.  Much time will be given in class to work on these, but your child may need a little additional time/help at home.

Thanks for all that you do!  I am really enjoying this year ~ we have a great bunch of kiddo's!  Thank you also for all your time volunteering, for supplies that keep coming in, for the very thoughtful Christmas gifts, and for sending such great kids to interact with!

NEW LINKS!!

Hello! 
I am so excited by 2 new links I've attached under the Language Arts section.  A parent asked me at conferences for some book ideas for his child, so we brainstormed an idea about putting some helpful links on my blog.  SOooooo, long story longer; there are now 2 links (GreatSchools and Goodreads) that list LOADS of titles.  One site even has a summary with each title!  Hooray!  Now, please keep in mind that I personally did not make these lists, so there may be titles that are too "mature" for your child, so please do your own monitoring!  
Thanks for  all you do and for the fantastic supplies you have been sending to our class!

New school year, new blog format, new links.... whew!  I'm excited about all we have planned for 5th graders.  We have mapped out the whole year week by week for science, math, and language arts; with a bit of social studies mixed in :).  I am looking forward to meeting each of you and getting to know about you.  I love teaching and am excited to get started.  Hopefully you are anticipating a great year for yourselves, as that will help you learn ~ attitude really matters!
Keep being awesome,
Mrs. Fuller
