Hello 5th Grade Parents and Guardians,
Health week is scheduled this year for the week of May 2nd. I will spend one week on a health unit for science with the aid of the school nurse. The majority of the week will be dedicated to learning about nutrition and fitness for life. One day of that week, the boys will be segregated from the girls, and both will have a lesson on growing up and puberty. I will instruct the boys and our school nurse Dottie Chin will instruct the girls. This day’s lesson centers around an instructional video followed by a question and answer session with the students. The objective of this day is for your child to understand the hormonal changes they are or will be experiencing. Other topics for the week include self-esteem, hygiene, growth and development, and self-respect. You are welcome to view all materials used for this unit ahead of time. Please email me (ggeisler@bromleyeastcs.org) and I will be glad to set up a way for you to preview the health week video, and/or the informational booklets we provide. Students not attending the health unit lectures will be given different work or projects during the week. If you have any further questions please contact me (ggeisler@bromleyeastcs.org). Thanks!

Getting set for Ameritowne
Hello BECS 5th grade parents and guardians. We would like to bring your attention to a handout your child will be bringing home in today’s Friday folder. This bright green flyer contains essential information concerning the upcoming field trip on Wednesday, April 13th to Ameritowne. If you are interested in volunteering to be a chaperone please note the orientation dates listed on the back. March 29th and April 11th are orientation dates for the training sessions held at the Young Ameritowne location, 3550 E. 1st Avenue, Denver, CO 80206, from 6-7 pm. We will also hold a training session at BECS on April 12th 6-7 pm. Chaperones only need to attend one of these orientation sessions. If you have any questions or are interested in volunteering please RSVP to your student's homeroom teacher or to ggeisler@bromleyeastcs.org
We're very excited for this trip, have a wonderful spring break :)

Entering the final few weeks of our life science unit, looking forward to science fair!
Hello parents, guardians, and students :)
Your student is nearing the completion of the 5th grade life science unit. We have studied the five kingdoms of life, with a focus on the plant and animal kingdoms. This month we will be studying how these biotic factors interact with the abiotic factors in the environment around them.
We will also begin choosing topics for the upcoming science fair. The due dates will break down as follows:
November 23, 2010 - Science fair topic will be chosen (Students will have access to multiple science fair idea books and they may also get ideas from television, sources online, etc.). I will need to sign off on all topics.
November 30, 2010 - The science fair purpose / question will be submitted.
December 6, 2010 - Trifold poster board due.
December 7, 2010 - A hypothesis will be submitted.
December 10, 2010 - A list of materials needed for this experiment will be submitted.
December 14, 2010 - A detailed procedure list will be submitted.
December 16, 2010 - Data tables and graphs will be submitted.
Winter break December 20 to January 3 - Experiment phase will be completed.
January 5, 2011 - Collected data from experiment will be plugged into set up data tables and graphs.
January 6, 2011 - Rough draft of conclusion will be submitted.
January 10, 2011 - Final draft of conclusion will be submitted.
January 11, 2011 - Completed final project due.
If your student would like to partner with another student for science fair I will need a permission slip filled out from both students' parents or guardians.
We will be holding a school wide middle school science fair sometime in February (date still to be determined). I will send home more information concerning this before winter break.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at ggeisler@bromleyeastcs.org or 720-685-3297 x200.
Thanks,
Mr. Geisler

WELCOME TO 5th GRADE SCIENCE
Hello Parents, Guardians, and Students. This year your student will have an entire core devoted to the study of the world around us and how it works: SCIENCE!
The topics for the year will roughly breakdown in the following ways:
August – November: BIOLOGY AND LIFE SCIENCE
December – January: SCIENCE FAIR
January – March: GEOLOGY AND EARTH SCIENCE
March – May: PHYSICAL SCIENCE
Your student’s grade will be determined by the following criteria:
Daily Work – This will consist of a variety of in class activities, assignments, experiments, and group projects. Daily work is worth 40-percent of your student’s grade.
Homework – This will be any work assigned which needs to be brought home in order to be completed. This will usually be practice worksheets, science writing assignments, and occasionally an extended project. I will accept late homework for up to one week after the due date of the missed assignment, however a letter grade will be deducted for each day it is late (e.g. one day late is worth a B, two days late is worth a C, etc). Homework is worth 25-percent of your student’s grade.
Quizzes and Tests – This will be any type of assessment assignment your student will complete. This could include traditional written quizzes and tests or could include completion of a unit long project. Quizzes and Tests are worth 25-percent of your student’s grade.
Participation and Citizenship – This will be your student’s behavior and conduct in the classroom. Participation and Citizenship is worth 10-percent of your student’s grade.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at any time. The best method is email (ggeisler@bromleyeastcs.org) or phone (720) 685-3297 ext 200.
If your student has any questions please have them ask me for help. The best time for this would be before and after school or in homework club (Monday – Thursday 3:35 – 4:05).
LET’S HAVE A GREAT YEAR 5th GRADE SCIENTISTS!
