Changes Are Getting Closer....

5B,
With the HUGE changes that are coming to you, there has to be some planning for it.  So, the 5th grade teachers will need to be gone on Thursday from class.  We will be in the building, but you will have substitute teachers in all of the classes:  Soc.St./Science, Literacy and Math/WS.  The last 2 subs thought 5th grade and 5B was a blast, and they were overly impressed.  I'm SURE this will be the same feeling from the subs that see you on Thursday.  RIGHT????

I'll leave instructions for the sub to be watching for extra respectful, responsible and trustworthy behaviors.  In fact, I will be leaving 10 yellow slips out for her to use with ONLY 5B students.  She can award them to anyone she feels earns them.  If that means somebody gets 2 or 3 or even 4 of them in one day, that's a pretty amazing and lucky student!  Remember, they will be picking up yellow slips at the end of the day Thursday, so be sure to get yours in there!

The Smartboard won't be running tomorrow because I'll be needing my computer for planning the big changes!  So, Trista will have to do attendance from the whiteboard.  Joe, make it a good pledge tomorrow!

Your homework should be done (small blue packet - "Camping" and large blue packet - Subjects (Who or What?) & Predicates (What's it doin'?)  Have these with you and DONE for tomorrow!

Tomorrow will be more time for Technology Projects, so you'll need to use your time wisely and be patient.  Sometimes a substitute teacher is not as comfortable with all these projects.  Please show her that you can be helpful, use time wisely and be independent.

I can't wait to see what progress you make with your projects.  Your last day to work on them will be next Tuesday.   (That means you have Thursday, Friday, Monday and Tuesday) We'll be sharing them with the class on Wednesday before Thanksgiving break!

Have a great day.  I'll be checking in from time to time to see how things are going, but I'll miss seeing my 5B babies again.  Be good, make me proud!
