Tonight's homework:
1. Read 20 minutes
2. Study for spelling test
3. Return registration papers (if you haven't already)
*Parents, I know the spelling words this week may seem very easy for some students. They are from a list of high frequency words that fifth graders should know. That means they should be easy. :) I'm just using that list as a starter list for this week. We will start our regular spelling program in the next 2 weeks, which will give each student words set at their own individual level.
*I promise there will be more homework next week. I decided to play it easy this week as we got into the new routines. There will be regular math homework starting next week.
*Thank you for your comments, I'm glad this has been helpful!

Papers for Pencils
It's that time of year again...you know, the day your child brings home a huge packet full of registration paperwork. I know there are a lot of forms to fill out, but it really is important that we have all the forms for administrative purposes. For example, without the Internet form, students will not be able to use the computer lab.
In an attempt to get all these forms back quickly, I have promised each student a box of colored pencils in return for every paper turned in. I would like to have all forms in by this Friday, August 1.
Here is a list of the forms counting for the colored pencils:
1. Pink Registration Card
2. Blue Health Card
3. Information Network Acceptable Use Policy (Internet form - p. 29 in the big booklet)
4. Emergency Release Form
5. Compulsory Education Form (p. 7 in the big booklet)
6. Jordan School District survey (p. 31 in the big booklet)
7. Code of Conduct (signed on p. 6 of the planner, doesn't need to be ripped out)
We have had a great start to the school year. I'm already so impressed by every student in the class. They are so excited to be here and ready for a new year. Thank you to the parents who came to Back to School Night. It was great to meet you! Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Welcome to 5th Grade!!
Welcome to Miss Payne's class blog! Please CHECK THE BLOG EVERY NIGHT for updated information on homework, classroom news, and upcoming events.
It's hard to believe the summer break is over and school is starting again! I'm looking forward to a fabulous year in 5th grade.
One of my favorite things about 5th grade is the opportunity we have to study United States history. It is fascinating to study the events and people that have shaped our nation and see how much they have influenced us today.
Students: I have heard great things about this A Track class, and I look forward to getting to know each one of you and your families. It was so fun to visit you in Mrs. Dabb's class last year. I think we will have a lot of fun together.
Parents: I would love to have you in the classroom as much as possible. I truly believe that parent involvement is an important factor in a child's education. The National Education Association says that "When parents are involved in their children's education, kids do better in school." For more information on the research and ideas of how to get involved, check out the NEA website:

Students and parents: If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
My contact information is always available here on the blog (top right corner). And here it is again:
