Special Friend's Day
Your learner is welcome to invite a special friend (parent, sibling, aunt/uncle, grandparent, neighbor, etc.) to their classroom for Special Friend's Day. Fifth grade's time is from 8:30-9:30 on September 13th. There will be treats to eat and special activities for your learner and their special friend to participate in! 

In math, we will begin our unit on place value of decimals. We will be participating in hands on activities to make sense of the tenths, hundredths, and thousandths places using real life examples. Here is a link to the optional weekly math homework.

In reading, learners will be looking at different perspectives in fiction texts, as well as analyzing text structures. 

In writing, learners will be crafting personal narrative texts using the strategies we have learned so far.

In science, we will continue our unit on matter and energy by exploring properties of matter such as volume, mass, and density.

In social studies, we will be focusing on the Middle and Southern colonies. Learners will compare these colonies to the New England colonies.

Fifth grade enjoyed getting to help Kinder fill out their wish lists in the library today!
