August, 2010-- for the new 5th grade

Welcome to the official OLA 5th grade wiki ! A wiki is a collection of web pages designed to allow a community of users (that's us) to talk, share work, and see what others are saying and doing in the group. To return to the OLA web site, click here.

We use this wiki in a variety of ways. Every Monday morning during the school year, parents and students can check this page for news and updates about the upcoming school week. There will also be updates by fifth graders on the Daily Blurb page will that answer the eternal parental question,  "What did you do in school today?"

The Problem Solving page will have math problems of interest for extra credit, and the Photos page will have slide shows of different events in our class. The Social Studies and Math pages are for special presentations in those subjects, and the Students page is for fifth graders to ask questions about class or tell stories about what they do outside school.

Soon you will receive a newsletter in the mail with a little information on what to expect in 5th grade this year. There's a lot more to know, though, and a longer letter will go home during the first week of school.

When I send the letter home, you'll also be able to access it on the Handouts page of this wiki. Give it a try and see if it works for you. During the school year, you'll find many class notices, handouts, and study sheets there.

To write on the wiki, you'll need a username and password. To give these to you, I need a signed permission slip, which I'll pass out (and put on the Handouts page) in September. Until then, check back here once in a while... you never know what might pop up on a 5th grade wiki!

OK, let's hope that guy doesn't pop up. He looks kind of like me on a Monday morning, actually (the wizard hat keeps my bald head warm on those chilly fall mornings). But never mind. Check back once in a while anyway.
