Meteorologist Ginger Zee and the 5th Grade
Ginger Zee gave a fantastic presentation for our 5th graders about weather and working as a meteorologist. She will be letting us know when she plans to show the pictures of our 5th graders during her report - watch for more information next week!
Bowling Day Suggestion
The students are encouraged to bring a sack lunch on Friday, May 29th, the 5th graders day to go bowling. Since many students bring money for snacks at the bowling alley, they often fill up and cannot eat all of their lunches. If they bring a lunch from home, they will be able to bring any excess food home again at the end of the day. Thanks in advance!
Subject Update:
Science and Social Studies (Homeroom)
- Science - The students will continue to observe our model pond ecosystem in order to note any changes over time. We will also review about primary and secondary succession before learning ways people affect ecosystems.
- Social Studies - We will begin Chapter 12 about our growing nation. The first lesson is about the U.S. turning 50!
Language Arts Block
- Spelling - Lesson 32 focuses on words with the prefixes im, ob, sub, and ad. There will not be a test on Friday since it is a shortened week.
- English - The students will review the different parts of speech learned throughout the year. They will work again with nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions as they create a "Mix-N-Match" booklet.
- Reading - We will continue to read the novel CRASH. Ask your student to summarize the chapters read so far, and ask them to describe Crash Coogan and Penn Webb for you. To which character does your child relate best? Why? Remember, it is important to keep up with nightly reading assignments to do well on daily class work!!
Math Classroom
- Math - The students are reviewing about perimeter, area, and volume. We have created a note sheet with the different formulas learned for these measures and how to label them. Students should prepare for a Perimeter, Area, and Volume Test on Thursday, May 28!
