5th Grade News!

This week we are taking the Terra Nova standardized tests. Thanks in advance for having your child at school on time so that we can follow the testing schedule. There will be no piano lessons this week due to the testing! Lessons will resume the following week.

Due to the testing this week the class schedule and homework assignments will be lighter. Students are allowed to work on the assigned test and check their work on that test during the allotted time. Each child will also have a book to read should they finish the testing early.

A new memory calendar for the month of October was sent home on Monday. Please be sure to post the calendar and refer to it daily. Let me know if you would like an extra calendar for you and your child! This week’s memory schedule is as follows:
Tuesday: 1st Article (all)
Friday: Hymn 283:1-2

The catechism test covering lessons 1-10 and the science test on chapter 2 will be taken this Thursday. The students will take the unit 6 spelling test on Friday. The realistic fiction book report is due this Friday, October 3!

Next week the students will have a math test on Wednesday. The spelling unit 7 test and a test on the novel ‘Hatchet’ will be taken on Friday.

October book order forms were sent home on Monday. Please return all order forms and payment to Miss Tjernagel by Monday, October 6!

Have a great week!
Miss Tjernagel
