Room Parties

Please let me know if you'd like to sign up to help with a room party. Even if you can't be here that day, you're welcome to send party supplies/treats to school. Thank you for volunteering! choover@eurekausd389.net

Day 1

What a wonderful first day of the school year!  I thoroughly enjoyed my students and their unique personalities. I'm looking forward to watching them grow and change during the year.

Planners: I'm trying to teach responsibility and accountability.  As long as they are filling out the planner and turning work in on time, students will NOT need a parent signature. If they keep forgetting to fill out their planner and/or have incomplete work, then I will require them to get your signature so you are aware of what assignments need completed at night.  Feel free to email or text me. 620-583-4220 or choover@eurekausd389.net

5th News

5^th Grade News

         The fifth grade students were excited to view the finished quilts they designed during Kansas activities. Mrs. Judy Dunn made the quilts and brought them to school. Students then presented the three classroom quilts to the S.O.S. of Greenwood County. These donated lap quilts will be given to children in need. It sure gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling when you know you are helping someone less fortunate!

         Students have enjoyed learning about nutrition (and enjoying a healthy snack) in April. Professor Popcorn a.k.a. Ms. Ireland, visited with each class weekly. 5^th graders learned about portion size, healthy eating, and the food groups and daily servings needed.  Many were surprised to see actual portion sizes (much smaller than the portions we usually eat).

         State Assessments are officially at an end! The kids worked very hard preparing for the test and taking the test. 5^th graders had to take Math, Reading, and Science Assessments during the months of April! One of the activities Mrs. Burden’s class did to prepare was to go out to the playground and practice ordered pairs on a huge coordinate grid! Who knew math could be fun? They were all anxious for their turn! MAP testing will take place May 2^nd and 3^rd.

 The fifth graders have been working on their conservation posters for the G.W. County Conservation District.  Their creativity just amazes me! Don’t forget about the Track Meet on Friday, May 6^th!  There are a lot of activities going on between now and the end of school.  Please check the website and the teacher’s blogs to keep up to date on upcoming notes and activities. We would like to encourage all of our 5^th graders (soon to be 6^th graders) to read over the summer!

Always Changing Talk Time

We thought we were changing the Always Changing talks for the 5th grade boys and girls, but as of now, the time will remain the same: 8:30 A.M. on May 3rd.  The second grade has kindly offered to switch p.e. times with 5th grade so they can still get to the track that day and practice for the upcoming meet!

Parents, please remember to sign the note designating whether your child can or can't attend this talk. Thank you!

Outdoor Learning

What a beautiful day to learn about trees in Marshall's Outdoor Classroom!  Mr. Luke Westerman and Mrs. Keila Sherman from the Greenwood County Conservation District visited with 5C on Friday, March 25. Students learned many interesting facts about trees and how important they are to everyone. They also learned about the Conservation Poster Contest that has the theme We All Need Trees.
