Welcome back to another week of growth in Grade 5!

Notes for the week...

** There will be no school this Friday, March 15, for Spring Break.  Classes will resume next Monday, March 18.

**For the next few weeks, we will be using personal electronic devices regularly in class for Language Arts, Reading, and Math.  Please allow your child to bring his/her tablet or laptop to school. We will be using the applications Google Drive, Google Docs, and Google Slides, so please ensure that these apps have been installed on your child's device.  We use these apps throughout the year for many different projects!

This week in class...

Last week, students chose the books they wanted to read for their Book Club and began preparing for their first book club meeting.  Students will continue reading, reflecting, and preparing this week for their meeting on Thursday. We will also continue exploring poetry through reading and writing.

Math

This week we will continue to learn about ratios, rates, and percentages. We will have a short quiz to demonstrate what we have learned about these topics.

Social Studies

This week we will begin writing our script for our final living museum presentation. Students will be working in small groups to write the script and also begin to create props for the presentation. Students should independently complete their research for both civilizations if they have not done so yet.

Thank you for all of your support, parents! Please feel free to email us if you have
any questions.
