10 SEPTEMBER 2021

 OH MY GOODNESS!

I just realized that I have this brown paper bag on my desk with GRADE 5 written on it!

My apologies, but I completely forgot to pass some things out to some of you in grade 5, but, fear not...You might have something to bring home with you on MONDAY!






 <<<KINDLY CHARGE YOUR CHROMEBOOK EVERY NIGHT>>>

Also please put your name on your charger!



We had a lovely presentation
from Mr. and Mrs. Mallinson from 
Musical Adventures on Thursday!
The instruments were amazing!   Ask your local fifth grade expert for details! They can tell you all about it, and should have brought home a brochure/permission slip for a trial band lesson next Friday.  Kindly return permission slips Monday or ASAP.


Gentle reminder...
Please bring in extra masks and water!
Thank you!

1 SEPTEMBER 2021

 Despite the rain (thanks Tropical Storm Ida), we made it through our first day in Grade 5!


I have heard SO many amazing things about our "fabu"* fifth graders, so I am thrilled to start our year together!

*Are you curious about this word?  Ask your local fifth grade expert for details!



<<<ONE MAIN THING FOR TONIGHT>>>

KINDLY CHARGE YOUR CHROMEBOOK, like, for a long time!  It has been sitting in a locker all summer, the poor thing, but I am sure that it is happy to be back with it's human again--or perhaps with a new STS kid for the very first time! 

Give your school email login a try...Any problems?  Don't worry about it!  We will figure them out in school tomorrow once your Chromebook has some power!  


DID YOU FORGET HOW TO LOG IN????  Here is a quick refresher...

FOR EXAMPLE:  If your name was 

Fernando Fabu, you would type...

ffabu@stthereseroxbury.org 

at Google mail.  


Try this UPDATED password:  

Grade052021@

---and those "0"'s are zeros, not the letter O.


Again, any problems, we will take care of them tomorrow!
