PARCC Testing - Science
5th grade students will be taking their final PARCC test in Science on Monday. Please encourage your child to persevere and do their best! Also, Chromebooks need to be fully charged for testing.
Subject Update:
- ELA (English/Language Arts) - We will continue our unit, Hardships in History. Students will recite their section of the poem "Paul Revere's Ride" on Thursday, May 19. Students have read a short story entitled "Katie's Trunk," and will continue working with this text to identify examples of similes and answer text dependent questions. We will also begin working with List #12 word parts.
- Science - Chapter 15 will teach us about energy. The first lesson will help us understand the difference between the two main forms of energy - potential and kinetic.
- Social Studies - Now that we understand why the American colonists formally declared their independence from Britain, we will read more about the Revolutionary War. Students will hear about the contributions of a variety of people who helped the Continental Army win important battles.
- Mrs. Strong's Math Class - Students will review the information from Topic 9 about rational numbers on Monday. A Topic 9 Homework Review is planned for Tuesday instead of a test (since most of the concepts simply took our work with integers to the next level). Then we will move into ratios and proportional relationships.
