Physical Education
5th and 6th grade P.E.
The 5th and 6th grade PE
classes have started
volleyball. The students will
go over the fundamentals of
the game that include: Set,
Pass/Bump, and Serve. We
will also be going over some of
the basic rules of the game
before we get into a game.
Teamwork and moving are a
big part of the volleyball unit.
The students are working on
improving their Pacer by doing
time run in class. Every two
weeks we will add time to
each run.

Computer
5th Grade Computer
Applications
During our Online Communication unit, students will learn about the rules and responsibilities of having a school Gmail account. Intermediate students are expected to check their email at least every other day, from school or home, to stay informed and maintain a well-organized inbox. We discuss the KASD Acceptable Use Policy that students sign at the start of each school year. We learn that sending chain mail and mass emails are against the school policy, and can lead to scams and/or computer viruses. Soon, we will be practicing how to format professional emails, and students will compose and send a professional email to another student in class in order to demonstrate their understanding.

World Studies
6th Grade World Studies
Students are wrapping up their French unit! We completed the Parisian Monument Research Projects, which you’ve no doubt heard about after a month’s worth of researching, preparing, and presenting to the class! They turned out great, and the students will be fabulous tour guides should you decide to take a family trip to Paris!
We will soon be beginning our Spanish unit! Students are excited to learn more about the culture and people of Spanish-speaking countries, with emphasis on Mexico. All study materials for homework and assessments can be found online, on the World Studies website. This site is also linked to my website, the Berndt Bulletin. As always, if you or someone you know has connections to any Spanish-speaking cultures, and would be interested in visiting some classes to share information, we are always looking for guest speakers!

Choir Information:
Choir students are also busy preparing for the concert on December 4th. Practices combining boys and girls will be held on November 20th, 27th, and 29th. We will celebrate with a pizza party and viewing of a movie during lunch and recess on December 13th. Pizza will cost around $3.00, please don’t send money at this time. Look for a note that will specify the details. The Choir is also participating in the Kimberly Area School District Choral Music Festival, which will be held on February 8th at Lawrence Memorial Chapel. Several students are involved in choir festivals this year. The first festival was Singing in Wisconsin, held at Kaukauna High School on Saturday, November 10th.
I am so thankful to work in a school with students and parents that are supportive of music education. Learning music isn’t just for today, it’s for a lifetime!
Healthy Living 5
th Grade
As the quarter winds down, so does
our unit on emotional health. The focus of
the unit was on stress and anger- two
emotions that can significantly negatively
affect our physical, mental and social
health. We learned about the cues our
body gives us as reminders to calm down.
We brainstormed and practiced ways to
calm down and talked about
consequences if our bodies are in
“distress”. Feel free to remind your
children about what they learned in health
when you see anger or stress. (One of our
most helpful strategies is to talk about it!)
Awareness of the strategies and how stress
and anger affect us will positively impact
health.
We will start next quarter with
decision making. Using the Kimberly Area
School District decision making steps will
help us to evaluate the situations we are in
and ask questions like: Is it safe? Is it
responsible, respectful, kind and honest?
What are the pros and cons? As your sons
and daughters get older and more
independent, they will be making more of
their own decisions. Steps to help their
decision making will hopefully guide them
to make the right choices.
As always, if you have any questions or
concerns, please contact me.

6th Grade Art
The 6th grade students created a three dimensional object out of different size wire. They used many different techniques of wrapping wire with pliers and their hands to create their wire sculpture. The sculpture needed to be 3-D, and if their sculpture was flat they needed to wrap many layers of wire around their sculpture. If the students wanted to use colored wire they could incorporate that into their sculpture. When the students were all finished with their wire project the students then made a name tag and used their chrome book to fill out their check off sheet (self- assessment) on our Google classroom. The wire projects will be displayed in the hallways when they are finished.
The Elements of Art we have covered are: Color, Form, Line, Shape, Space and Texture.

Band
5th and 6th Grade Band
I can't believe second quarter is here! All of our bands are
working hard on music for our
concerts in December and January. Concert attire is nice clothing, no blue jeans, no t-shirts with writing or athletic clothing. The 6th Grade Concert is December 4, 2018 at 6:30 pm. The 5th Grade concert is January
15, 2019 at 6:30 pm. Students are asked to arrive approximately 30 minutes early. Exact times will be
sent home at a later date.
Band and choir t-shirts are ordered! Shirts should be
arriving in one week.
Ms. Shimek (ext. 2621) Mrs. Carpenter (ext. 2654)
MUSIC
Fifth grade students have been
practicing using our newest rhythms,
continuing to explore different ways of
making harmony. They are preparing
songs for our January 15th concert. This
is the same day as the band performance.
All 5th grade students are expected to
perform in the evening performance.
Attire for the performers is to be dressy –
slacks, skirts, or dresses (with low or flat
heel) for the girls, khaki or dress pants for
the boys with a nice shirt or sweater and
dress shoes or dark athletic shoes. Please
stay away from logos on the shirts. It
would be a great reason to buy some nice
dress clothes for the upcoming holidays.
Sixth grade students will be singing
during the December 4th concert. This
concert is for all students in 6th grade and
will include the entire class. They are
singing familiar songs and performing
with African instruments. It will be a
great concert! It is expected that every
sixth grade student will be in attendance.
Attire for the performers is also to be
dressy – slacks, skirts, or dresses (with
low or flat heel) for the girls, khaki or
dress pants for the boys with a nice shirt
or sweater and dress shoes or dark athletic
shoes. Please stay away from logos on the
shirts. For the remainder of the quarter,
we will continue to learn how to read
music out of choral scores in preparation
for 7th grade choir and future singing
opportunities, and also play songs on the
tone chimes.

WOODLAND HOLIDAY BOARD
"Mr. Calmes would like to thank the following 6th grade
students: Makenna Calmes, Miranda Calmes and Sarah
McCarthy. These young ladies put in many hours of hard
work on the Woodland Intermediate Holiday Board, and
the board looks fantastic. A reminder to all Woodland
Intermediate students, staff and parents that the board
they decorated will be on display at Memorial Park (located
across the street from Mapleview Intermediate
School). The Memorial Park holiday lighting ceremony,
called: "Christmas at the pond" (includes all the holiday
boards from each school in our district) will be Sunday,
December 2nd at 6pm. So please take some time during
the holidays to stop out and see all their hard
work! Great Job Ladies!"

FAMILY RESOURCE INFORMATION/
OPPORTUNITIES TO DONATE
You may or may not be aware that the Kimberly Area School
District has two clothes closets that are located in two of our
schools. One of the clothes closets is at Mapleview
Intermediate (920-788-7910) and the other is at Westside
Elementary (920-739-3578). If you would like to donate or are
in need of some assistance with resources, you can contact
Mapleview or Westside. In addition to the clothes, Woodland is
frequently being offered ways to support our families if they
should fall upon economic hardship. Please reach out to your
child’s teacher or school counselor if you are in need of any
assistance throughout the year.
When to Keep Your Child Home
Children should be kept home from school when they don’t feel well. It is important to get the rest they need to
recover, and to prevent the spread of germs to other children and the staff. If you are unsure of when to keep your
child home, please contact the school nurse or your family medical provider.
The following symptoms may suggest a communicable disease. Children who have the following symptoms should
be kept home from school until a doctor has seen them, they no longer have symptoms indicating a communicable
disease or they have received treatment for at least 24 hours for certain diseases.
SORE THROAT
An oral temperature of 100.4 or higher indicates a fever. If your child has a temp of 100.4 or higher at school he/she will be sent home. Your child must be fever free for 24 hours without the use of a fever reducer (Tylenol or Ibuprofen product) before he/she returns to school.
If a fever is accompanied by a sore throat, stomach ache or head ache it may be strep throat. Strep throat is diagnosed by a throat culture obtained at a medical clinic. If your child is diagnosed with strep throat, your child must be on appropriate antibiotics for 24 hours and fever free for 24 hours without the use of a fever reducer (Tylenol or Ibuprofen product) before he/she returns to school.
If your child has an episode of vomiting and diarrhea at school, he/she will be sent home. Anyone with these symptoms should stay home until symptoms are absent for 24 hours.
A cough may be a sign of many different illnesses. If a cough is accompanied by a fever, sore throat, body aches or any other symptoms you should keep your child home. Any cough that lasts for more than several days should be discussed with a doctor.
Rashes and infected sores needed to be diagnosed by a medical provider. Many skin rashes such as impetigo, scabies, chicken pox, Fifth disease or Hand Foot and Mouth disease are very contagious. Students may return to school once the rash has been diagnosed and treated for 24 hours or cleared by a doctor. Open sores from illnesses such as chicken pox and impetigo may need to be covered at school with bandages for several days.
Symptoms that prevent the student from active participation is usual school activities OR student is requiring more care than school that can safely provide.
