Math Aid Website

Hi 5th Grade,

If you are looking for extra practice in math, check out this website.  It has downloadable printable worksheets in almost any topic.  I would encourage you to check out the worksheets in areas that you are weak.  Also, doing some of these sheets this summer would keep your mind sharp for 6th grade.  I wonder who youre Math teacher will be next year?

It's been a while...

Hi 5th Grade,

Great job on the Iowa tests!  You're all doing amazing.  I can't tell you how excited I am of this field trip next week.  I am praying that it will be life changing and that you will have a new perspective on the needs of the poor.  I know some of you might be anxious about the fast.  While it may be tough, we will be doing it together and I have lots of fun activities planned for Friday night to get your mind off your hunger pangs.  But, feeling the hunger will hopefully help you empathize with the plight of so many in our country.

We will be watching the video below Friday morning (next week).  I just watched it and I learned so much and was so inspired.

Have a good night.  Get those permission forms in!
