Notes for Parents:
- Please monitor daily temperatures. High temps could result in an early dismissal from school during fall and spring.
- Students are encouraged to bring a healthy snack in the mornings along with water bottles for the classroom, especially when the temperatures are much warmer.
- We ask all treats for the classroom for birthdays, celebrations, etc. be individually packaged or purchased items. Sorry, policy states no delicious home-baked goods .
- Students are required to bring their classroom mail home daily in their cougar folders. They also need daily planners to be filled out, taken home, and signed by a parent/guardian each night.
Classroom Goals and Expectations
Practice Doing Your Word Sort
March 5-9 - Sort 23
March 12-16 - No Sort
(IA. Assess Week)
March 19-22 - Sort 24
March 26-30 - Sort 25
Each week students are given a copy of the words/sort on Monday. They have a copy to cut and practice sorting at school, and write the words/sort down in their writing journals to study at home. Students should practice sorting the words, but also work on spelling them.
Practice Your Spelling Words each week in a NEW and Exciting Way. Click on the Spelling City Link, type in your words, and Enjoy!

RESPONSIBILITY
- Along with being a fifth grade student at Clark Elementary comes a great deal of responsibility. Students have the opportunity to be a part of our before/after school student SAFETY PATROL. These students are helping to ensure all of our other Clark Cougars arrive and dismiss school safely!
- Fifth grade students also get to take part in the DARE program this school year. Classes will begin soon and dates will be posted.
- COUGAR CORNER- Fifth grade students will be packaging popcorn once a month to promote school spirt by selling it to all students and staff at Clark. Each child may purchase a bag of popcorn for 50 cents. All profits will be donated at the end of the year to a charity/organization in our community. Fifth grade students will be in charge of deciding on where the money should go.
