Art Class Wish! A note from our Art Teacher, Ms. Spencer: As you know there are many 4th and 5th grade students, and they are using wipes at the end of class for this current project. Our supply has diminished quickly. Hand washing at the sink takes a very long time, and the material ( oil pastels) comes off better with wipes rather than washing at the sink. Baby wipes and/or Clorox sanitizing wipe donations would help the art room greatly! iReady Diagnostic Our grade level will be taking the iReady Mid-Year diagnostic assessment when we return from break. We will take the Reading Diagnostic the week of 11/28 and the Math Diagnostic on 12/5 and 12/9 This assessment is not used for a grade, but is used for instructional purposes both within the classroom by us as teachers and to help aide in placement decisions. These diagnostic assessments help provide us with valuable information so that we can target instruction in both reading and math!

These laptops should be taken home daily to charge, and all students should login and practice using their device and/or Microsoft Teams prior to the remote day Nov. 8th. Occasionally a device will need tech support and students will turn the device in to the Media Center to receive a replacement. We are waiting on delivery of replacement devices for several students. If devices need support at home, parents may call the FCS Technology Helpdesk to ask questions. If devices prevent students from completing classwork at home, teachers will allow time at school for completion of assignments. Happy Friday, Panther Families!

Study Guides Unit Test - Adjustments Last week the Unit 2 Math test on decimals (on level only) and Unit 2 Reading test on theme and text structure went home. We have adjusted the scores from the online assessment to award students more points for the multi-select answers. This means the test is out of more points and is adjusted on the cover page. Please send your homeroom (or math) teacher an email if you have any concerns with this after looking at the assessment. As always, thank you for your support! The 5th grade team Art Class Wish!
