Short week this week – Wednesday is a late start day and there is no school on Friday. Here’s what the fifth graders are up to in the classroom:
Writing: Students are writing their “Where I’m From” poems. Afterwards, they will focus their energies on assembling their poetry anthologies.
Reading: Reading groups continue.
Spelling/Grammar: None this week. It’s too short!
Science: Students are going to put together their science quiz circuit boards.
Social Studies: While continuing to learn about explorers, students will learn about what it means to be a sovereign state.
Math: We will review for and take a math check this week on working with decimal numbers. The check will be on Thursday (moved – due to Snow Day).
