Hello everyone! We hope your kiddo had a great week 4. This update is a little longer than usual -- thank you so much for reading!
If you didn't make it to BTSN or would like to go though our presentation again, you can find it here. Dillo Quest: information packets went home in Wednesday folders this week. The due date for all necessary paperwork and payment ($85) is Friday, October 18. If you would like to pay online, check out this PDF for directions, or go directly to school cash online. Scholarships are available, so contact your child's homeroom teacher if needed. If you need another info packet, please check the Downlads tab of the 5th grade website, or you can ask Mr. Mayer for another copy. As a reminder, we are requesting a few Dillo Dads join us on the trip -- please see packet for interest form. It's very important that if your child takes any medication that the medication form is filled out completely. It's up to your child's homeroom teacher to manage all medications (stressful!), and we need all information filled out fully. Finally, we aim for 100% Dillo Quest attendance, despite the fact that we know there is always some anxiety surrounding the experience. Please reach out if you or your child have questions or concerns. Please check out our Fall Math Update, emailed out earlier this week. It's got lots of great info! We are really starting to settle into class routines, work loads, and expectations. This year is definitely a transition into the middle school model, with larger class sizes, and more movement throughout the day. Self-advocacy is a huge skill that will carry your child through life, and is one we focus on developing a great deal in 5th grade. Self-advocacy can look like asking questions, working well with peers when given the opportunity, taking advantage of study hall opportunities, bringing all work/homework to class each day, completing make-up work/corrections in a timely manner, staying focused and engaged, participating in class as comfortable, etc. Thank you for your support! Help your teachers get free books for their classrooms! Here is a link to digital Scholastic Book fliers. The code to type in for each reading/language arts teacher is below. Thank you so much for your support of our students’ reading experiences! Ms. Briles: NFT3N Mr. Wilder: NJ6F9 Thanks for reading, and have a great weekend! ~5th Grade Team
