Good Afternoon Families!
It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is just around the corner! However, with the weather outside, it feels more like the middle of winter! In such a short time, our 5th graders have learned so much because of their hard work and the continued support you give them at home. Please make sure to read the following information regarding report cards:
Report Card Information:
First Trimester Report Cards will be released on November 21st at 3:00pm.
Your child's report card will be online this year. You will still receive an envelope, which you must return signed acknowledging that you have viewed the online report card and any included documents. Information to set up your online PowerSchool account to access your child's report card will be included in the envelope coming home on Friday, November 21st.
Below are the targets we are either currently working on or planning to work on as we move into the second grading period:
Literacy
**We will start to work on analyzing multiple accounts, while considering characters' points of view and their perspective.
Writing

Science
**We will begin our Human Body unit, starting with cells and their purpose.
