Holiday Vacation Homework Begins Tonight, 12/22/14

Math Holiday Homework Packets were distributed today in class.  Students may begin working on them tonight.  I ran into the same issue with this packet as I did with the Thanksgiving Recess packet, so once again I apologize, the packet will not be available online.  I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday and I will see you in the new year.

Be well,

Brian Hostash

I am sorry, and I don't know why, but the link for the Thanksgiving homework is a dead link.  I am pulling the post down.  I am sorry for the inconvenience.  Have a great Thanksgiving!

There is homework tonight, it is a multiplication fact page, and it should be a quick assignment.  Just to get back in the swing of things!

Good afternoon and welcome to Fifth Grade!  Today we went over most of the procedures for the classroom and did some introductions.  I very much look forward to working with your child this year.

June 18 is Middle School Visit Day

June 18 will be when Mr. Hostash's and Mrs. Richards' classes will be visiting the middle school to get a small taste of what life will be like in the middle school.  They will get to practice opening a locker, see that 3 minutes is actually a long time to switch classes, meet Mr. Reeve the middle school principal and possibly other sixth grade staff members.  Don't forget to ask them about their experience!
