Daylight Savings is My Friend!

Greetings, 5B!
Wasn't it nice to have an extra hour of sleep this weekend?  I feel like it was exactly what I needed!  Hopefully,  you'll come to school Monday refreshed and ready for a jammed-packed week of learning!  


You have quite a bit to be working on this week.  Here are some reminders and some events going on:
All Week Long:
Mentoring starts!  We'll take a quick tour in the morning so you know where to meet your Mentee for your first visit!  Yeah!
All Week Long: 
Inquiry Project:  Remember, you have 4 steps to complete with your Inquiry Groups.  You each have jogs to complete.  The slogans and mottos I heard on Friday were so creative and definitely memorable.  You guys really are making a difference in the lives of other people.  
Monday:
Extended date for Book Orders.  Kayden....remember, I'm doing this for you!  Make sure to remember your order:)
Tuesday:  
Family Homework Due!  You should have your home-chosen selection read, 2 worksheets and had a discussion about the 4 focus questions to wrap up Unit 1.  Thank you to families for helping out and modeling reading and thinking skills with your child.  Look for more Family Homework assignments in the future:)

Friday:  

Veterans Day Assembly for 5th Grade ONLY!  5th graders should feel honored that they have the opportunity to meet and visit with War Veterans from the Cresco area.  Mrs. Halverson will be chatting with you this week about what a Veteran is, what they stand for and brainstorming questions you may want to know from them.  This will be a special assembly in the Discovery Center, just for 5th grade students!  Isn't that awesome?  

Wowser, what a busy week, huh?!  To show you checked the blog, visit this link by clicking on it  Make a Medal for a Veteran .  Design a medal and print it off.  Bring it in on Monday morning with your name on it.  We will be making more and cutting them out to make a thank you card for our special guests on Friday.  I made one.  It's pretty fun and really easy!  

Thanks for helping out last week with the suggestions for Group Leaders.  Remember, they will be doing their jobs through Thursday... So, Alison, Colter, Nathan, Jarrett and Brooklyn, be ready to take charge Monday morning if it's needed:) 

See you soon!

Mrs. Sorenson
