Day 68 of Week 17
It was technology Tuesday and it was the heart of our Lewis and Clark project work so we spent a great deal of time researching and creating our projects.
The website is a private website that only dublinusd.net users can view however ask your son/daughter to show what they are working on or look at how they are giving project updates explaining what they are doing. It is all exciting stuff.

We had our chapter 10 test. Most students had not finished therefore we will complete it first thing tomorrow morning.
We then began work on our next level of fractions and that is multiplying fractions.

On December 14th and 17th, classrooms are collecting gently used or new books (no more than $5) for a school book exchange. Children will be given tickets for their donations (one ticket for 1-3 books, two tickets for 4-6 books, and 3 tickets for 7-10 books) and each ticket can be redeemed for a book of your child’s choosing (swap runs from December 18th-20th during lunch recess). Leftover books will be donated to classrooms.
A Winter Read-a-thon!
Help raise money that will stay right in your child’s classroom!!!
Gather sponsors between December 13th through January 16th and read, read, read. This encourages students to enjoy reading and really helps improve their reading skills. Please help your child keep track of the number of minutes he or she has read!
Friday morning Holiday Boutique
Our 5th grade students will have an opportunity from 9:30-10:00 a.m. to shop and also help their kindergarten buddy shop in the annual Holiday Boutique. Students do not have to participate or bring money however students that do have money will have an opportunity to purchase items from local artisans and local shops. Our 5th graders will have two responsibilities: 1. help the kindergartners manage and hold onto their money and 2. provided they brought money from home shop for family members or for themselves. From 10:00-10:15’ish the 5th graders can also have their purchases wrapped for free by parent volunteers.
