Hi All, 

I have posted two assignments for math and science on Google Classroom.  All the information should be there, however, email if you have any questions. 

At Home Learning 5th Grade Schedule

I would like to invite Mr. Whaley's homeroom only for a Google Meet this Wednesday at 11:00am. I will send out the link just before it begins to student emails.  Please be prepared to mute your microphone. Come prepared with a high/low tide to share; and/or with questions about either math or science poster for that morning.  I will then read aloud from our To Night Owl From Dogfish.

On Friday, I would like to invite just Karlonas to the Google Meet at 11:00am.  I am hoping with the smaller group we can have more time to connect.  

Thank you for all your patience and hard work! 

Be well, 

Mrs. Karlonas :)

She visited CEMS last year and every student received an autographed copy of Finding Perfect.   If you haven't already done so, check out the You Will Be Found...@CEMS mental health website for more details on last year's initiative and feel free to follow along in the community read aloud of Finding Perfect (still available!) as well. Click on the red play button to access the videos of recorded chapters read by community members, students, authors, Olympic athletes, and more!
