Mrs. Johnson's 5th Grade: Homework for the week of June 21, 2011

Welcome to our classroom website!

Volunteers needed for Colonial Day!!! We are short on costumes this year for Colonial Day and need some parents that know how to sew to help make our day a success! Colonial Day will be this July, but we want to give you plenty of time to work with. If you could help sew a few outfits, please let us know ASAP. All supplies will be provided.

Welcome to our classroom website!
Here you will find your weekly homework assignments, and the weekly classroom newsletter. On this website you can print out your reading log, get the week's vocabulary words, and any other homework pages that may be assigned.

Every week you are responsible for:
1. Completing the homework as explained on the classroom website. (This will always include the reading log and vocabulary pages.)
2. Coming to class with your stapled homework pages ready to turn in on Monday. You may not come to class and staple/assemble your homework. It must be done at home!!!
3. Being prepared for Monday's vocabulary test (knowing the spelling and definition of each word).
