What's Happening in the Classroom?

In reading, we focused on the reading strategy of making inferences and drawing conclusions. Learners should be using their background knowledge and evidence from the text to make inferences. In language arts, we focused on prepositional phrases. 

In social studies, we finished our unit over the U.S. three branches of government and the U.S. Constitution. Our next unit will be over Manifest Destiny and Westward Expansion. 

In math,  we have been working through our expressions and equations unit. We have been learning a lot of new vocabulary like prime and composite, factors and multiples, and order of operations!

In science, we have been exploring landforms as well as the changes to Earth's surface. We have been participating in labs that help us learn these concepts such as creating sedimentary rock from sand, gravel, twigs, and saltwater.

Sky Ranch Money and Form Reminder

All forms from the Sky Ranch packet will need to be turned in by March 9th. This is also the due date of the last payment. You are welcome to turn in the forms before the due date!

***This is also the due date for ALL chaperone money as well! 

Calling all Dads!

We are still in needs of dad chaperones for some of our 5th grade classes for our Sky Ranch trip from April 25-27th. The cost for chaperones is $200 and you will need to fill out the chaperone interest form in your learner's packet to bring back to school. It is important that we have enough dad chaperones in order for us to be able to go on this trip. Please let your homeroom teacher know if you are interested!

After School

Dr. Applegate has asked us to remind parents and learners that at the end of the day, learners are not allowed to play on the playground or school property due to the YMCA using our campus for their needs. Please make sure that your learner goes directly to where they need to be after school.
