Fifth Grade - Mrs. Novacek

For Science class last week, the 5th graders were split into two groups.  They had to act out how the earth rotates and revolves.  They had to mention the earth, the sun, the moon, the seasons, and how rotation and revolution work.  They did a great job!

Classroom Information

 Sick Days
  • If your child is ill and won’t be attending school, please email attendance@tricounty.k12.mn.us before school begins for the day or e-mail Mrs. Novacek. Any homework they have missed will be placed on their desk. Upon their return, they will need to complete this homework within two days. Exceptions will occur if other arrangements are made.
Homework
  • Your child will have daily homework​ most of the time. They are to complete their homework and bring it back to school the next day.
Before School/Breakfast
  • Students will go down to the cafeteria if they come early to school, and breakfast begins at 8am. They need to be back in the classroom by 8:25 or they are considered tardy.  
Book Orders
  • Several times during the year I will send home book order forms with your child. You are never obligated to purchase any of the books. Should you decide to purchase from the order form you will need to complete the order form and send the correct amount together in an envelope. Please send a check made payable to the book company.
Library
  • The student’s will have library on Wednesdays. The student’s are allowed to check out two books. 
Box Tops
  • Please get the Box Top app and select Tri-Co School as your donation school.  You can scan all your receipts and earn Box Tops for our school. Box Tops are a wonderful way to raise money for our school.
