Today is the first day Ten Marks has been assigned as homework. Students are responsible for completing their entire set of questions by Friday.

Bio Bags!

Last Thursday, fifth grade teachers shared their Bio Bags 

with the students!  

Starting Tuesday, September 6 ALL students 

will begin to share theirs.

What goes in to a Bio Bag?

First, students choose a bag that represents them, maybe a sports bag, a beach bag, or even a bag from their favorite store.

Secondly, students choose 5, only 5, items that teach us more about who they are.  Ideas could be: 

a pet's toy to show your love of a family pet; 

seashells to show your love of the beach;

a baseball to show your love of the game; 

a photo of family or friends to show your love of those individuals;

a book to show your love for reading.

Be creative, have fun and teach us more about you!

Students should bring in their bio bags on Tuesday ready to go.  They will come home once they've had a chance to share.

Welcome to 5th grade!

Happy Summer!!!

SCIENCE REQUEST!!

We have wrapped up our study of the different forms of energy.  We spent time in "expert groups" learning a form of energy and then teaching our peers about it.  Students were able to create their own set of test questions and was given this past week.

We are now moving onto our next unit of study which revolves around food chains/webs, adaptations and composting!  We are experimenting with composting by constructing a compost that uses newspaper with food scraps, dried leaves with food scraps, and dead grass with food scraps.  We will see which one progresses quickest!

In thinking about our study of food chains/webs we are going to be creating mini terrariums!  I have asked students to bring in ONE of the following:  a 2L soda bottle, a large mason jar, or a large spaghetti sauce jar.  If we could get those next week that would be great!

Yearbook Photo Request for 5th grade parents/guardians

Please submit ONE baby picture of your 5th grader to be published in this year's North Beverly yearbook.  There will again be a section of baby pictures in the yearbook dedicated to our 5th graders.

If you have a digital photo:
     Email directly (as an attachment) to:  submit+ohbaby2015@entourageyearbooks.com

If you have a hard copy photo:
     Send in a sealed envelope to school marked "Yearbook Baby Photo".  Make sure to include student's name and teacher.

Deadline for submission is Friday, March 18

Valentine's Day

Questions have arisen regarding 5th graders and passing out cards.  We will not have a party; however, if students would like to pass out cards they are more than welcome to do so.  We will give them time on Friday to pass these out.  We ask that if a student chooses to do them that they bring enough for each student in their homeroom.
