18. The Special schedule for 5th grade is different from the one you might be used to in fourth grade. We rotate specials in this order: • Music. • Library • D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything And Read) or G.R.A.D.E. (Gang Related and Drug Education) • 4. Science Lab • 5. P.E. • 6. Spanish • This means that if today we went to P.E., we will then continue down the list to Friday which will be Spanish. THEN the following Monday we will go to their 6th special, Music. So specials are no longer attached to a specific day. • Students will be responsible for knowing which special they have each day. Our webpage will also have the Specials for that week. • If there is no school during the week, the rotation will also have a “day off” meaning we pick up where we left off on the rotation once school resumes. Specials

19. *Students will have projects/book reports every month. • *Please make sure they are turned in on time. The projects will be detailed and will include a rubric, which helps you understand what is expected. • *Please make sure you read carefully through the entire project. Also, the students are required to do 85% of project. If someone other than the student does the project, this will result in project being returned and points will be taken off. • *If your child is absent the project will be due on his/her arrival. Projects will be modified to fit your child’s needs. • • Consequences for not completing projects: • * One day late, I will accept. 10 points off. • Two days late, the project will not be accepted and student will receive an “F”.
