Upcoming Grading Information

Grading  

On Semester report cards, your student will be graded on end of 5th grade year standards 

using the following indicators:

Ex-exceeding expectations

M-meeting expectations

Dv-developing their skills to meet expectations

E-emerging skill level towards meeting expectations

Since meeting (M) the end of 5th grade standards expectations is our goal for all 5th graders by the END OF THE YEAR, it is likely that most students will be emerging (E) and/or developing (Dv) their skills in meeting those “end of 5th grade expectations” until closer towards 4th quarter. Along those same lines, the exceeding (Ex) grade indicator is one that may be used in rare occasions.

Franklin-Randall Carnival

Goodbye to the Carnival?

The Franklin-Randall Carnival has been a much-loved PTO fundraising event- offering food, raffle prizes, activities, and fun to our students and their families. This year's event may be cancelled due to a lack of volunteer coordinators. If you are open to co-coordinating the Carnival, please email katyhanz@gmail.com ASAP for details and we might be able to keep the event! Thank you.

Bridges: Doubling and Halving

We are learning new strategies for multiplication. This week we really focused on Doubling and Halving. Students worked with partners to solve a problem using the strategy, then explained it using the app Seesaw. Check out their great work!

Writing: Animal Informational Writing Godfrey's Class

Our students worked soooooo hard on their research and paragraph writing before break. We worked on reading and annotating, paragraph structures, topic and conclusion sentences, transition words, text features, and more! Here is the great products that came from all of that hard work.

Literacy

For the second half of 2nd quarter we worked on comparing and contrasting characters, setting and events within a story. This is the process we followed in order to do this.
