Global Horizons: Fifth Grade- Foxworth & Bosch

Everyone seemed to really enjoy the break, including the teachers! Students were wide awake this morning and seemed enthusiastic about being back together. Mrs. Foxworth’s students enjoyed reporting on all their “misadventures” over the break that caused minor injuries. We work so hard to ensure safety at school that they seem to delight in telling about their somewhat “unsafe” adventures during Morning Meeting.
We finished reading Love That Dog by Sharon Creech this morning. It had a sad ending, but we appreciated the author’s writing style, the way she slowly revealed the details of Jack’s loss, and the way the real poems were interwoven within the text. We are continuing to work on our poetry unit. Students began working on a personification poem today about some object in our classroom. Word study this week will be 10 suffixes, their definitions, and sample words.

Please have a conversation with your student about how important the next few weeks are academically. We still have new material to cover and need to begin reviewing for MAP and PACT testing. Students need to continue to be very focused during instructional time. Please talk with your child about staying focused, listening, and working hard. Thanks for your continued support!
