Respect is the pillar for February.
A person of character values all persons,
Lives by the Golden Rule,
Respects the dignity, privacy, and freedom of others,
Is courteous and polite to all,
And is tolerant and accepting of differences.

PARCC testing begins the week after next, and we’ve been doing many activities to help
our students prepare for this. We’re hoping that you, too, can help your 5th grader. Please be
sure your child has a good night’s sleep, eats a nutritious breakfast, is on time for school and
that all orthodontist and doctor appointments are scheduled outside of school hours. Thanks in
advance for your cooperation.
ASK YOUR CHILD ABOUT
o Taking a science test on solutes, solvents, saturation and
solubility
o Adding mixed numbers with unlike denominators
o Taking a reading assessment for the second trimester
o Running records
o Our new listening station novel, MY BROTHERSAM IS DEAD
o Our new social studies unit entitled FACING SLAVERY in
which the children will learn about the impact slavery had
on Africans
o The darling Kindergarten program
o Today’s announcements and the challenge we gave the
school
