5th Grade Lakeview Parent Night
Please remember that 5th grade parents are invited to a meeting at Lakeview on Monday, May 17 at 6:30 p.m. The purpose of this meeting is for parents to meet the faculty and administration at Lakeview, learn about the curriculum and programs offered at the middle school level, and tour the building. This meeting is for parents only; students will visit Lakeview during the school day on Tuesday, May 18.
Subject Update:
- Spelling - Lesson 34 focuses on words with silent g or h in certain letter combinations. Due to a few extra activities in our schedule, there will not be our usual end of week test over these words. Instead, we will work with the words form this list over the next two weeks.
- English - The students will write another persuasive essay early in the week. Then they will begin to learn about adverbs.
- Reading - We will continue to review our reading strategies as students participate in small group discussions for the novel, CRASH. Our final activity will be a game of Jeopardy to test our knowledge of important vocabulary, characters, and events from the story! On Thursday, May 20, our class will visit Lakeview's library to check out summer reading books at the middle school level. Encourage your child to find some good books to keep practicing those reading skills this summer!
- Science - The students will continue to learn what makes up our solar system. Our solar system includes the sun and all planets and other objects that revolve around it.
- Social Studies - We have learned how delegates from the 13 states tried to create a stronger, central government when writing the U.S. Constitution. Next, we will read about ratifying, or approving, the Constitution. The Chapter 10 Test is scheduled for Friday, May 21!
- Mrs. Strong's Math Class - The students will apply the formulas for area to help them find the surface area of 3-dimensional figures. Later in the week, we will learn about volume and how it is different than perimeter and area measurements.
