5th Grade Happenings
I hope everyone had a relaxing week off. It was wonderful to see so many parents at
Open house. The children certainly
worked hard to get everything just right.
With only one more week until STAR testing (April 30th - 5th),
it is important for all students to be here on time and well rested. We will be testing first thing in the
morning. Please look at the attached calendar for testing dates.
Upcoming
events:
1. Language
Arts: We are reading My Brother Sam is Dead. This is an intense
story about a young boy who is unsure who to support in the Revolutionary
War. His older brother has joined the
rebels to fight the British, while his father is loyal to the Bristish King.
2. Social Studies: We are working
on Ch. 10 about the Tensions between the British and the colonist. We have
Colonial Day on Friday, May 11th. Please be sure to be gathering a
colonial outift for your child.
3. Science: We are studying Living Systems. We have been
working on the Human body and its major systems; circulatory, respiratory,
digestive, and excretory. We will be
studying the heart indepth as we prepare for the heart dissection in late May.
