Half way to 100 days of Fifth Grade!

Dear Families,
     It has been a truly incredible week here in 5th Grade!  The thoughtfulness in listening and learning has been tremendous!  We each have persevered and accomplished so much this week!  We handed in some of the best homework I have ever seen!  We justified our thinking in math with multiple pathways and detailed mathematical representations!  We are generalizing about 2 digit multiplication!  You would not believe the conversation your children are having with one another as they praise the efforts of their peers and compliment the work their peers are doing and how diligent they are in making sure it meets expectations! They are setting the bar high for themselves and working towards accomplishing their goals!  They are reflecting on their weaknesses and using a growth mindset in planning next steps for their reading and their writing!  In between all this class work they are managing chorus and band and we even found time to visit the imagination playground twice!  We had an active Snack Shack today, with a healthy snack from Ella, as we discussed Malala and her message of Education for All!
