September 6th - September 9th

Welcome to our class website, a place to keep in touch with our class and the Joyner community. Look for weekly updates regarding what we are learning and experiencing during this important final year of elementary school.

 Hope everyone had a great Labor Day Weekend.    Thanks so much  to those who have sent in copies of  Peak. This novel is part of our initial IB unit, How the World Works. Fifth graders will be researching and building background knowledge about Tibet, Nepal, Mount Everest and landforms. In math we will continue our review of place value and number sense. At the end of the week we will have a quiz to make sure everyone knows their multiplication facts through 12s.  Check out  the helpful practice link under suggested links on this page.

Parents, I want to encourage you to come into the media center and register to be a school volunteer.  You must go through this process in order to volunteer in the classroom and/or attend field trips.  It only takes a few minutes!
