WOW! What a great year. I left school around 3:30 today and the classroom looked bleak. Everything put away for the summer. Computers covered, desks and windowsills empty. Like closing shop for the summer.
I want to thank all of you for the blessings of teaching your children. You all should be proud as they worked hard to successfully complete 5th grade. I was impressed often by the joy of learning in their eyes and on their smiling faces, and it made me happy to be a part of such a great class.
I also want you to know how grateful I am for your continued support on the 5th grade journey. It is parents like you that make my year smooth sailing, fulfilling and successful.
Students should definately be reading and practicing math facts over the summer. Some ideas for 5th/6th grade books are: Number The Stars, The View From Saturday, Holes, Frindle, Chasing Red Bird, The Egypt Game, The Giver, Maniac McGhee, Phantom Toll Booth and Wringer are just a few.
Math practice should involve multiplication/division facts, fractions to include; equivalent, comparing, adding and subtracting with unlike denominators, multiplying, finding the common denominator and knowing common factors of numbers.
Enjoy your summer and any adventure you may take. Be safe and have fun.
Sincerely in Christ,
Ms. Reynolds
