We have officially ended the 1st trimester grading period.
Here are some helpful reminders for success during the 2nd trimester:
*Extra Credit.....
Please remember that here at Prairieview, we suggest that students set a personal goal for the grades they would like to earn each trimester, and then work towards that goal the entire trimester. Therefore, students are NOT given opportunities for extra credit assignments. However, teachers may provide bonus points on various assignments throughout the year.
*Late homework - Trimester 2
1 day late - minus 15%
More than 1 day late until unit test is taken - minus 25%
After unit test is taken - a zero is entered in the grade book
Some important dates....
We are inviting parents to attend this PBIS Recognition Assembly on Monday, November 15th, at 1:45 p.m. where the students will be recognized by local law enforcement officers for their fantastic work on maintaining our core expectations of being respectful, being responsible, and being safe.

SCOOPer Reading: Tuesday we are setting our 2nd Trimester goals and the students will receive new book activity choices. It's also our celebration for meeting our 1st Trimester goals!
ENGLISH: Unit 2 Nouns
SOCIAL STUDIES: finishing chapter 4......
The students have been reminded to bring home their textbook and review especially over the weekend. There's a lot of content in this chapter. Have you seen your child reviewing?
If so, send me an e-mail and I would like to reward them for being responsible!!
CHAPTER 4 TEST - Tuesday, November 23rd!
JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT: Our last session will be on Tuesday, November 23rd.
The culminating activity is the students are doing commercials based on a service or product they are selling. Thanks to Mr. and Ms. Paleka for being awesome facilitators!
SCIENCE: continuing chapter 5......your child has "memory" vocabulary cards that they should use for an ongoing review. A family member can participate in this activity or they can play memory on their own.
On Tuesday, November 23rd, Fullersburg Woods will be coming to talk with the 5th graders about ecosystems. They will focus on the concept of food chains and the energy pyramid and how everything in our world is connected. This fits in great with our science chapters 5 and 6.
MATH:
Chapter 6 Quest (quiz/test) is Tuesday, November 16th.
We are then doing an assessment of material learned in both chapters 5 and 6.
This helps us evaluate who has grasped the concepts that are to be mastered in 5th grade, and who needs additional practice.
We will also be visiting the computer lab this week to play a math problem solving game.
Next week, we will be doing problem solving.
