WEEK OF MAY 7


Bookworm Angels Book Drive Update 
The results are in... 5th grade donated 1,481 books, making us the grade level winners!! Although this win is a nice perk, most important is that we worked together to help others. Thank you to all who generously gave to this cause!

Subject Update:
  • Spelling - The Lesson 31 pretest will be on Monday. Homework will be assigned during the week to practice the words. Both regular and challenge word tests are on Friday.
  • English - We will be working on persuasive writing. Ask your student about some of our "Would you rather..." topics used for journal writing this past week. It helped us understand how to state our opinions and provide support and elaboration for them.
  • Reading - We will continue our fantasy novels next week. Students have Book Club calendars with their daily assignments and meeting dates. READING TIC-TAC-TOE PROGRAM: The final Tic-Tac-Toe sheet is due May 25!
  • Science - The students are learning how ocean waves and human activities shape shorelines. The Chapter 12 Test is scheduled for Thursday, May 10!
  • Social Studies - We will review about Washington as our first president before learning how our new nation expanded in size under the presidency of Thomas Jefferson.
  • Mrs. Strong's Math Class - Students will be learning how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide with integers.
