In reading, we have focused on asking deep questions as we've been researching topics of interest. In writing we've continued to work on our informational books, focusing on organizing our writing into paragraphs with transition phrases.
When we return from break, we will spend one more week in our nonfiction & informational units before diving into poetry in both reading and writing.
Finally, we've spent a lot of time this week reviewing for the Class Spelling Bees. We are so proud of our 5th graders for studying and preparing. We know that our families have helped with that too, so thank you!
In Social Studies this week, we learned all about the Bill of Rights. Ask your 5th grader about the basic rights included in the first ten amendments.
When we return from the break, we'll explore the three branches of government.
This week, we started Unit 5 on operations with fractions. Students learned different strategies to add and subtract fractions. When we return from break, we will continue working on adding and subtracting fractions and begin multiplying fractions.
This week, we took the second part of our Unit 2 post test on force and motion. When we return from break, we will start Unit 3 on Earth's changing surface.

A Note From the Fifth Grade Teachers
iPads
TCE 5th graders should come to school each day with their iPad and charger. Please ensure your child charges his/her iPad each evening. Your child should also check periodically to ensure his/her iPad's software is up to date (settings --> general --> software update).
Water Bottles
Please help ensure that your child brings a water bottle to school each day. While learners are able to purchase a water bottle from the cafeteria, that is not an every day solution. We have multiple water bottle filling stations on campus, so learners can easily refill their bottles.
Snack
We will have a short snack time each day while we continue to work. 5th graders do not each lunch until 1:00 PM each day, so it's important that they have a healthy and nutritious snack each day to fuel their bodies. We also ask that the snack they bring is completely free of peanuts/tree nuts. This will help provide a safe environment for all learners. Thank you for your help!
Car Tags
Please do your best to keep your car tag visible when/if you come through the carline to pick up your 5th grader. It helps us get the learners into their cars quickly and efficiently. This is especially helpful when it's raining, extremely hot, or extremely cold.
