CLASS CREED We the people of room 26 will keep our hands to ourselves, we will respect each other and listen to each other. We will not say hate or discriminate, we will not imitate or eliminate and treat others the way we want to be treated. We are special in our own way and we do our homework from day to day. We will respect each other's privacy and try our best to never rest in the community we're in! 
Community Points-Through hard work, super attitudes and great behavior we collect community points. Our goal is to reach 100 points. We then get to use the points for a class reward. Rewards range from extra recess, kickball, slipper day and wiffle ball to a hike in the woods.
UPDATE: We are currently working to reach our goal. :):):):):):):) *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Writing- All students have writer's notebooks and are writing several times a week.
In Reading: We are currently working on main ideas and supporting details. In addition to in-school literature, all students should be reading 30 minutes every day at home.
Our current read-aloud book is entitled Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen. Book Reports and projects are due November 28th. *******************************
MATH IS POWER!!!!!  Grade 5 Math- Students are currently working with division of decimals and whole numbers.

Our class song was created by Megan.
It is called We Are Room 26. It goes like this:
We are Room 26! And we have all the mix.
We're the 4/5 jive! And even though we can't drive, We are Room 26!
Ms. Z is our teacher and she's the best one! Even though she gives us homework, she's still really fun. We are Room 26!
We have a Friday dance and a vacation one too! And sometimes it feels like we're in a zoo!
We are Room 26! Yeah! We are Room 26! Yeah!!!
UPCOMING DATES TO REMEMBER Report Cards go home-----------------Dec. 5th Parent Conferences-------------------Dec. 10th-12th
Please continue to return Friday Folders every Monday. You have been doing a fantastic job. The class earns 10 community points if all folders are returned on Monday. They receive 5 points if we have 100% on Tuesday, and only 1 point on Wednesday. Unfortunately, there are no community points given for a Thursday or Friday return. Reminder-We read silently everyday for 30 minutes. Please remind your child to have their chapter book ready. Friday is a free-read day. On Fridays, any book will do.
