The Bathroom...use it wisely.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Please remember to use the bathroom during our designated times: before school, after recess, before lunch (wash those hands!), and after lunch. The bathroom use during classroom instruction is getting disruptive to your learning and to the learning of others in our class. Even if you do not feel the need to go at the designated times, please try. Because this has become a problem, only "emergencies" will be allowed during instruction. Thank you.

So Many Compliments!
Wow! Students, You are awesome! You have earned "C-O-M-P-L-I-M-E-N-T-S P-L-E-A-S-E" in unsolicited compliments. Together we have decided to celebrate by having a pajama day on Friday, August 28th. We will be watching "School House Rock" as an added bonus. Way to go!

Today at Recess
Dear Students,
Thank you for understanding the importance of our afternoon meeting. For your own safety and health, and the safety and health of your classmates, it is vital that no one be licking their hands at recess! Please remember to wash hands often to help prevent getting sick, and take advantage of our bathroom break before lunch to wash up before eating.
Thanks!

Posting Homework
I will be updating the Homework posting daily. Unless specifically stated, homework is due the next school day. Unfinished classwork may go home on Friday to be completed and turned in on Monday. I believe weekends are "family time", so students are encouraged to complete classwork in class. Therefore, Homework will NOT be assigned on Fridays. :o)

Math curriculum website
Math Expressions is our new math curriculum. You can log on to their website and click on "Resources for Families" and "5" and find a glossary, help with terms, an overview of what we are currently doing, and even some extra word problems. It's a very user-friendly site: www.eduplace.com/math/mthexp/

Message from Music Teacher
Although we don't have music class for a few more weeks, Mrs. Bailey sent out a request.
"5th grade parents: Are you able to donate a package of party horns to your child's class? Your child will be playing the recorder again this year in music class. We are in need of one party horn per student. We will be using these to help with articuation. Any type of party horn is wonderful as long as they uncurl when blown. THANK YOU!" Lin Bailey, Music Specialist

Parents ~
Thank you so very much for all of our supplies! We seem to be all set for now. I appreciate your generosity in fulfilling my "wish list".
Many of you have given me your schedule for volunteering in our classroom. Thank you! As soon as we are completely settled in, I will be posting requests and contacting you for any help needed. Thank you for your offer.
If I do not have your current email address, please send me an email at ktaylor3@wcpss.net so I may include you in my address file. The best way to contact me is through email or sending a note with your child. I will respond within 48 hours, but usually much sooner. I do make a habit of reading email in the morning upon arrival. If you have not heard from me, please resend. Occasionally a message does end up in cyberspace!
Lastly, and most importantly, thank you. You have done a wonderful job raising polite, bright, and happy ladies and gentlemen. This group of students sure makes it easy to get up in the morning and want to come to class! We are off to a beautiful start with our 5th grade year!

First Week of School!
Thank you to all the students for making this such a wonderful first week of school! You welcomed me warmly. I don't feel like the "new kid" in class. :o) Thank you for sharing personal interests and stories and participating in our Morning Meetings - it's been a pleasure getting to know many of you, and I am anxious to hear from those who have yet to share. We have set high standards for ourselves and shared important values in our Social Contract. I look forward to spending the year living, learning, working, and meeting those standards.
