Curriculum Tidbits:
- We have wrapped up our first reading unit, evaluated our work, and made new goals for our reading in preparation for the next unit focusing on characters.
- The fifth graders did remarkably well on this week's Bible test. In our next unit, we learn more about Jesus' ministry.
- In math, we will wrap up our unit this week with focused work on fraction story problems before reviewing for Friday's unit test. Look for a review/practice test to be sent home on Monday for students to complete and correct at home. They will have two days to work on it before returning it on Wednesday.
- We'll learn about the "triangular trade" in social studies.
- Students will spend the beginning of the week planning their personal narrative using a "post-it note planner" before entering the drafting phase later in the week.
- Our new Bible memory passage for the month of October is Psalm 23.
Other Tidbits:

- October is Down's Syndrome Awareness Month. Students are invited to wear mismatched socks on each Friday of the month to raise awareness.
- Parent Teacher Conferences are coming up on October 17th (in-person) and 19th (virtual). I look forward to meeting with you!
