September 2019
Dear Parents,
Welcome to 5th Grade! Open House this year is on Thursday, September 12th and I’ve compiled a list of helpful hints for you that will make the evening more informative and interesting. So, with that in mind, when you have a few minutes please:
- Create a Twitter account for yourself - I use Twitter daily for homework, class charts and sharing information about the children and their work. Download the Twitter app on your mobile device. Follow us @vivianroberthe
- Become familiar with my class blog (mrsvrobert@blogspot.com). It is an excellent tool for keeping track of our curriculum and important class information.
- Sign up for Remind.com. This allows you to receive texts or emails about important class-related information. Text @dh8b7f to 81010
- Note the following events on your calendar, some dates TBD :
- Conference Days 12/4, 12/10, 12/12
- County Board of Legislators Trip 10/10
- Bedford Ropes Course Trip 10/23
- We The People Musical March TBD
- Scarsdale Middle School music and house visits TBD
- Know that your child is required to read every night for 30-45 minutes and complete a daily log for 3, 1 month-long intervals
- Set aside a jar filled with random coins (all US coins represented) for your child to practice fractions. Knowing how coins are fractions of a dollar (parts of a whole) will aide in the comprehension of fractions, decimals & percentages later in the school year. Keep it handy & encourage practice often!
- Come prepared with your mobile device and your calendar.
Looking forward to a successful year and seeing you Thursday 9/12!
Vivian Robert
