We are going to begin using a blog to update you on our important information going on in 5th grade. This will take the place of the newsletter presentation that was being sent home. Your learners' homeroom teacher will still continue to send you the link at the end of the week or first thing Monday morning. As we update each week, the new posts will be at the top of the page.
What's Happening Down C-Hall...
LA/SS:
- Freedom was our theme this week as we participated in Celebrate Freedom Week! The students had a chance to create freedom poems of their own and explore the preamble of the Constitution. We also wrapped up the rough draft of our autobiography and the students will have a chance to clock their papers on Monday.
Math/Science:
- This week in math we reviewed all of our multiplication and division strategies. We began the discussion on unknown quantities through our learning experiences. In science we began our unit on Matter and Energy. We talked about the different properties of matter and how they are connected to the real world.
