Good afternoon Parents and Families,
This week 5th grade has been diving into constructed response while comparing nonfiction and fiction texts in language arts. Tomorrow students will be creating their own infographic around a specific prompt in relationship to the rainforest. In math we have been continuing our work on fractions and building up to multi-step word problems around fractions. Students will take their assessment on fractions next week.
On the 29th of this month the Denver Zoo will be visiting with us to connect with our rainforest unit, this will be on campus. In February we will have our third round of ANet testing and will be visiting the Museum of Art.
Please make sure your student is reading every night and completing their homework. We've had such a great completion rate, I want to keep it going.
The due date for our overnight permission slips and payment/payment plan is approaching. In your child's folder you will find a blue form with all the details. Please return the parent form and payment as soon as possible. We only have 6 students that have paid or initiated a payment plan.
Parent conferences will be held February 9th and 10th. I have met with many of you for home visits and parent conferences already. Those of you that I have not gotten to visit with I will be contacting for conference sign up. If you would like to meet again I am of course available on those days.
I hope you all have a fantastic Friday and a wonderful weekend.
Take care,
Leticia Austin
