5th Grade News: September 28th-October 2nd

What's Happening Down C-Hall... 

LA/SS:

•  This week we participated in two mind missions which focused on American Indians' way of life. We also started a new Junior Great Book. Make sure to ask your learners about "Charles". 

Math/Science:

• This week we worked on our Decimal Must Do/May Do Board. The learners worked on decimal riddles and created some of their own. We also discussed the difference between expanded form and expanded notation. In science we continued talking about the properties of matter. We looked at displacement for finding the volume of irregular objects and began our study on density.

Homework: 

In 5th grade, your child will be exposed to more flipped homework. This means that we will send assignments home that will need to be completed that evening in order to be able to participate in the activity the following day. Some of these assignments will need access to technology. We understand that at times technology does not work properly. If this is happening to your child, will you please let us know in an email or a note for the next day, and we will accommodate accordingly. If you have any other questions or concerns about technology homework being completed at home, please do not hesitate to contact your child's homeroom teacher. 

Thanks!
