Please make sure to label everything that comes in, from water bottles to even a sweatshirt/jacket. Only WATER will be allowed in classroom. Any other kind of drink, such as juice etc., will only be allowed in the lunchroom. Water bottles will be stored in a special place. Please REFRAIN from sending in large Stanley's (40 oz w/ straw) as they spill SO easily!
Please bring your charged laptop to school with you every day! Our Google Classroom will be set up the 1st day for your learning, and I highly suggest that parents join too, in order to access what is assigned.
Birthday Party Policy
We are a class of 25 students.
Birthdays will be celebrated at lunchtime in the cafeteria. To be sensitive to allergy concerns, non-edible items (e.g. toys, stickers, pencils) are strongly encouraged for these celebrations so that all children can participate in the celebration.If you choose to send in a snack, consider a healthy snack. Also please note that all items sent must be in individually wrapped, pre-packaged portions so that the child can easily distribute to classmates. Ice-cream cakes and whole cakes cannot be accommodated by the food service staff. You can deliver your item and/or treat to the receptionist or send it with the birthday child. Visitors are not permitted in the cafeteria. Birthday and/or Party invitations are not handed out in school, under any circumstances. However, parents are invited to join the class “party list” which will be distributed to parents that join the list.
MODULE 1 Week 2 Test on Wednesday
Topic 2 Addition and Subtraction of Decimals
AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT MULTIPLICATION FACTS:
Your child is now in 5th grade. It is IMPERATIVE that they know their multiplication facts if they haven't memorized them yet. Memorization of facts frees up all of your child's working memory so that they can concentrate on the bigger task - solving the real problem before them.
Unit 1- Properties of Matter -beginning mid October
Unit 1- Early Europeans
Our school is working towards being a more caring and respectful environment. The philosophy is simple and is this-imagine everyone is born with an invisible bucket. The bucket represents a person's mental and emotional health. You can't see the bucket, but it's there, and it is our responsibility to fill that bucket. When you say nice things, show respect, act in kindness, you are filling each other's buckets and, in turn, filling your OWN bucket.
Switlik Elementary School is working towards keeping our buckets full EVERY DAY, thus resulting in individuals who feel healthy mentally, emotionally, and socially.
Congratulations to the following students:
