Be sure to be signing the 5th

grade planner on a nightly
basis. Your child should be
taking this to and from school
each day.
Bringing home notebooks is a great idea
to use as study guides before tests. All
tested materials are taken from notes
that are inside students notebooks for
all subjects. Use this great tool!
