It was nice seeing all the familiar faces as last year's fifth graders returned as sixth graders for the 22-23 school year.  The students are excited about helping the kindergarteners during recess (K-help) this year.
     The students' schedule is posted under Resources.  Students wear their gym uniform on gym day, which is Friday.  The students may not wear their gym shorts alone in class.  They have to have their sweatpants over their shorts when they are not in gym class.
          In order to meet the diocesan requirement of reading twenty-five books a year, the students are keeping a reading log and summarizing the books they read.  An outline to help them with their summarizes is posted in their ELA Google Classroom.  After the student finishes reading a book, he/she must log it on the "reading record" (also available on Google Classroom) and summarize the book.           We have a subscription to Storyworks magazine.  The articles can also be found online at storyworks.scholastic.com.  The students can log in at the student site through Google Classroom, or they can use the student password.  (The password is the name of our "class pet" preceded by my room number.)
     The students also have the opportunity to order from Scholastic Book Club every month.  The easiest method of ordering from Scholastic is online at www.scholastic.com/bookclubs.  Use our one-time Class Activation Code when you register:  LMVKP.  If you wish to pay by check, please make check out to Scholastic Book Clubs.  Thank you for not sending cash in with the orders.
         The intent of the learning standards is to ensure the success of students in college and careers.  The "Parent Roadmaps" link below is a good resource to explain the CC.

A Student's Prayer for a New School Year
Dear Jesus,
A new school year
has now begun
after several weeks of summer fun.
Now, as my studies
begin anew,
may I always and ever
rely on You.
Bless my teachers
and my principal, too.
Bless my classmates
in all that they do.
Open my mind
and open my heart,
so this new school year
will have a great start.
I love You, Jesus,
I truly do.
May I always,
in everything,
follow You.
Amen.
