Spreading Christmas cheer with a clash!
Hello Clashing Christmas kiddos,
Good morning. I hope to see you at morning meeting at 8:00 today. Let's see if that can happen! Please wash your hands, read this message and order your lunch. Next, you should update your reading status. I will call you over to check your homework.
It seems that many of you are enjoying various traditions at home, including the antics of your elf on the shelf. Another tradition at this time of year is thinking of others who are less fortunate than us. The 5th grade student council members will be visiting the City Mission next week. They would like to take cards that have a kind message inside. Please use the rest of your morning to make a card for a person who needs to hear a happy message this time of year. Be sure to sign only your first name on the card. The paper for the cards is on the front table. Be artistic and neat!

This morning, please wash, read and order your lunch. Next, please write one way that you are proactive on your post it note. After that, I would like you to make a thank you note for our guest speaker yesterday, Mrs. Tiffany Vanderwerf from the Buffalo Zoo. Please be sure to be neat and specific regarding what you liked about the Polar bear presentation. Finally, you can use your ipad to finish typing your personal narrative and to take a picture of 1 thing you have learned this week.
We have a holiday on Monday, Veteran's Day. What will you do to honor the people who have fought for our rights?

Hello Measuring Friends,
Today we will continue to talk about the different ways to measure. There are two different measurement "families" we can use. Do you know their names? By the end of today, I hope you are able to identify which units belong to which family!
Ryan, Gabby and Evan will share an animal this morning. After that, we will start our free share. Start thinking about what you would like to share with the class.
This morning, please wash and order your lunch. After you have read the message, please solve this division problem using doodle buddy.
