Dear 5A Families,
What a whirlwind of a few weeks! Today didn't quite feel like the day before vacation as we were trying to finish up some projects due to all the snow days! The Growth & Development videos that were supposed to be shown today were postponed to a later date still TBD. We did end our day with a fun 5th grade mint mobile grand finale showcase. Enjoy the pictures below from the last few weeks.
In math we are cruising through Unit 6 (Investigations in Measurement; Multiplication and Division with Decimals). Our test is planned for after vacation (date TBD). In Science, we’ve had a lot of fun learning about rocks and minerals (with some sweet treats made as replicas of the different types of rocks!). The kids have been working through their Rock Cycle poster project in class. Parts of this may become homework after vacation. In social studies, we are learning all about 8 important explorers who made an impact during the Age of Exploration. The kids have been working in partners to read about and identify key features of each explorer, and we are making a class matrix. In writing we wrapped up a narrative using 2 non-fiction sources. It was awesome to see the kids excited about drafting a new piece of work. We will be doing more work with narrative after break.
Important Dates
2.28: Rescheduled Curiosity Club
3.1: Early Release
3.2: Book Talks begin in reading
3.2: Field Science moved to today due to Early Release
3.7: Aquarion Water Treatment Field Trip
Miscellaneous
Enjoy your February vacation! :)
Cheers,
Kathryn
