Me Box Assignment - due 9/6/18

This year, our class is going to be using “Me Boxes” as a tool to build enthusiasm in our classroom and to help kick off our Writer’s Notebooks. A “Me Box” is a simple project. Using a shoebox or photo type box, collect items from around your home that help explain who you are and the things you are interested in. For example, you might include a family photo, a ticket stub from a baseball game, an example of something they are curious about, or a souvenir from a vacation. The “Me Box” should include 4-6 items that you will be able to show the class and explain why you chose the item. This activity is a perfect confidence builder, a way to show creativity, share interests, and show appreciation for one another. I will be sharing my “Me Box” in class as well. All items will be returned home, but please do not send anything of great value.

Tuesday 8-28-18 - Curriculum Night!

We started math lessons today, including switching with 6th grade math.
We had our first band day today! Students should be bringing their instrument home every day.
Tomorrow is our first computer class - the students should have their flash drive with them for that.

See you tonight at Curriculum Night! We will meet in the church at 6:30, followed by 2 sessions in classrooms. Please let me know if you can’t make it, and I will get the information to you.

Homework:
5th and 6th grade math - Lesson 1

We will correct the lesson together in class tomorrow morning. Any incorrect answers must be corrected and turned in with the original lesson.

Reminder: No school Friday or Monday due to Labor Day weekend

8-27-18 Happy New Year!

Hello and Welcome back!
Today was a fantastic first day of school! Beginning each school year with chapel, together as a Trinity family, is such an amazing way to start the year. I hope you were able to enjoy that with us!

We spent the majority of the morning organizing desks and books and getting acquainted with the space. We did a little getting-to-know-you activity with guessing things about ME! They have their side to complete tonight. Yeah, homework on the first day (luckily most finished in class ☺)

Reminders - we DO have band tomorrow! If you have an instrument, please bring it. If you haven't gotten your instrument yet, that's okay! We'll get it figured out with Mr. Pollatz.

Looking forward to seeing all of you tomorrow night for Curriculum Night at 6:30

Thank you for all of the classroom supplies and for helping today go smoothly!
