Happy Sunday Families!
I hope everyone had a fantastic week! It is hard to believe that our Valentine's Day party was our last 5th Grade classroom party. Thank you again to our parent volunteers for making the party one to remember!
Our students have been working hard to finish up all of the assessments to complete Trimester 2! Here are the targets we will be beginning in the next few weeks:
We are completing our unit on the universe with the book, "Our Mysterious Universe". The book covered many of the interesting phenomena and theories in our universe.
Writing:
Our students are working on their second Scientific Journal writing project.
We will revisit opinion writing in the upcoming weeks.
Math:
We are completing our work on Unit 4 with the final assessment. We will continue to intervene any of these targets next week prior to report cards going out.
We will start a proportional drawing activity on Monday. This activity will help introduce the next unit in math (Unit 5). At your convenience, please read the parent math letter for Unit 5 using the link below:
