Last week students had the opportunity to participate in the fifth grade More Than Money Conference at Aetna. This conference focused on financial literacy and used the Junior Achievement curriculum. It was taught by volunteers from Aetna, and students had the chance to meet other fifth grade students from the greater Hartford area.
The Unit 2 Math Test will be on Thursday. An optional, extra math review will take place on Thursday morning at 7:30 AM. Students will also have an in-class review on Wednesday.
We head to Sturbridge Village on Friday. Students will be walking quite a bit so sneakers are a must, as well as a lunch/drink. The class will be split into a few groups and each group will decide for themselves where to eat. Therefore, students will be walking around with lunches for a few hours. Those tiny drawstring backpacks are great on this trip. Regular backpacks are a pain – otherwise, students are better off carrying their lunches in a sturdy disposable bag. Electronics are allowed on the bus, but they cannot make an appearance in Sturbridge itself.
Upcoming Events
Picture Makeup Day – Friday, November 10
Parent Teacher Conferences – Thursday, December 7 and Friday, December 8 (although I will offer times each morning all week as well)
