5th Grade Curriculum Night
Don't forget that 5th Grade Curriculum Night is Tuesday, September 7 at 6:30 p.m. It will begin with a brief presentation by Principal Schultz in the multi-purpose room. Parents will then have the opportunity to visit the classrooms and sign up for homeroom conferences that evening. I look forward to seeing you all there!
Subject Update:
- Spelling - A pretest will be given on Tuesday. The students will be assigned homework during the week to practice their words, and a final test will be given Friday.
- English - We will begin Unit 1 by distinguishing the difference between complete sentences and fragments. Then we will identify the four types of sentences - declarative, imperative, interrogative, and exclamatory.
- Reading - This week in reading we will be focusing on context clues. The students will learn how to identify words within the context of a story.
- Science - We will continue to learn about the tools used by scientists. Students will complete an investigation in order to experience some of the tools hands-on.
- Social Studies - The students have learned about Columbus discovering the "New World." Next, the students will learn about the events leading up to Spain establishing a colony in North America.
- Mrs. Strong's Math Class - We will learn about the order of operations and different math properties. Students will also learn how to evaluate problems before solving them in order to choose an appropriate method of computation (mental math, paper and pencil, or a calculator).
