Happy Friday Families!
It was great to see you all during conferences. I truly enjoyed the opportunity to share your child's growth in fifth grade. Thank you for your continued support in your child's education. I hope your Thanksgiving holiday break was fantastic and I hope you enjoyed good food and special time bonding with family and friends. The field trip to the Museum of Science and Industry was a perfect culminating activity for our students' weather unit. They enjoyed the hands-on exhibits and learning outside of the classroom!

Literacy

Writing
**We are writing opinion/argumentative writing. Students will be asked to pick a stance and defend their argument using evidence from the text, as well as their own ideas.
Math
**We will continue to practice concepts from Unit 3, which covers adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers and applying those concepts when presented with real world word problems.
Science
**We will begin our Human Body unit, starting with cells and their purpose.
Social Studies
**We will start our discussion on economy, with a focus on goods vs. services, supply and demand, and trade. Please be on the lookout for information regarding our 5th grade trade fair!
Friendly Reminders
**Please remember to send your child with a healthy snack. Nothing feeds the brain like a healthy snack! Also, because of allergies, please make sure your child's snack complies with our district's safe snack list.
**Please continue to have your child practice their multiplication facts up to 12.
