  1. Welcome to 5th Grade Open House! Mr. Mason, Mrs. Baldwin, Mrs. Jamieson, Mrs. Eckert, Mrs. Pegram, and Mrs. Levan

  2. Curriculum Common Core State Standards • We teach students the CCSS. All textbooks, workbooks, activities, etc. are simply resources to assist in teaching the CCSS. • Please click on the “Parent Link” on the Wake County School System website (www.wcpss.net) for more information.

  3. Team Teaching • In 5th Grade, we team teach. Students are assigned to a team of two teachers: one will teach Language Arts and Social Studies, the other will teach Math and Science. • Parents are encouraged to maintain open lines of communication with both teachers, although Weekly Folders and correspondence will come from the student’s homeroom teacher.

  4. Writing The Writers Workshop framework will be used for daily writing lessons and practice. Genres • Narrative • Research (Nonfiction) • Poetry • Essay • Fiction • All writing genres will be integrated across curriculum.

  5. Reading • Mini Lesson - geared towards CCSS objectives • Daily CAFÉ – structure for instructional delivery • Small Group Reading- guided/strategy group instruction for different reading levels • Word Study- Greek and Latin roots to help understand English Language vocabulary

  6. Social Studies Our focus this year is on US History. Topics of Study include: • Economy • Revolutionary Unit • Government and Westward Expansion • Civil War and Reconstruction

  7. Math Math instruction will consist of daily lessons and practice including math vocabulary and problem solving for five areas: Areas of Emphasis • Number Sense/Base 10 • Number Sense/Fractions • Geometry • Measurement and Data Analysis • Algebraic Operations

  8. Science Lessons and labs are inquiry based. Units of Study • Ecosystems • Weather • Motion and Design • Human Body Science Special • Science as a special has been included in our 7-day specials rotation.

  9. Homework • WCPSS Board Policy states that students in 5th grade should have an average of 50 min. of homework each night. • Reading, Math and Word Study • Occasionally Science, SS, or incomplete class work • What if homework takes longer than 50 minutes?

  10. Homework Policy • We know life outside of school is busy! Therefore, we assign homework on Mondays and it’s due Fridays. • If a student does not have homework ready on Friday, they will get ‘dinged’ on Classdojo to notify you. • If they do not make it up by Monday, they have independent recess until it is done.

  11. Parents and Homework • If your child works on an assignment (30 mins. tops) and cannot figure it out even with your help, please initial it so we know you tried. We will clarify here. • If your child loses an assignment, please send a note so they won’t be penalized, and we can try to get another copy.

  12. Helpful Websites • Hres5.weebly.com • Timezattack.com (x facts) • Kahnacademy.org • Learnzillion.com (info coming soon) • Wcpss.edmodo.com (info coming soon) • Studyisland.com

  13. Communication • Tuesday Folders - sent home every Tuesday with work, and important PTA information • Classdojo.com- emailed on Fridays. • E-mails, Notes, Phone Calls -teachers may utilize any or all forms of communication as behavior or other concerns warrant it. • To School • E-mail - easiest way to get in touch with your child's teacher • Notes - Feel free to send in notes about any concerns you may have (talk to your child about making sure we get the note) • Phone Calls - teachers are not permitted to receive phone calls during class time, however, you may leave a message with the office staff

  14. Parent Conferences • We will be scheduling conferences in the near future so we can inform you of your child’s academic progress. • You should expect to have 1 conference in the Fall and 1 in the Spring. • More detailed information will come home in regards to conferences in the next few weeks.

  15. School Policy Reminders • Required notes from home • Transportation: day of change • Absences: within 2 days of return • Sick Kids • Must stay home for 24 hours after fever has broken • Picking up students early • Go directly to the office, even if your child is at recess
