Social Contract
This week the entire 5th Grade worked on committing to a social contract that reminds all students of expectations on how we want to teach each other and be treated. Over the past few weeks the students have brainstormed ideas for this contract, and we were able to pool them together to make a great list. The contract will be visible in all 5th grade classrooms as well as being shared with Specials teachers and the office staff. That way as learners are traveling through out the building for class, specials, House meetings, etc. they will see the contract they created.

This week in reading, we continued our nonfiction unit. The fifth graders practice identifying the main idea, and using context clues to figure out the meaning of unknown words. Next week, we will continue to study nonfiction texts, focusing on text structure.
In writing this week, we continued writing our information books. The learner focused on making their beginnings special. Next week, we will continue working on our second information books.
This week in Social Studies, we wrapped up the American Revolution.
This week, we post tested on our Unit 3 which was over decimal operations and then we also began our Unit 4 over Financial Literacy. This unit is really quick so next week, we will work for five days over the financial vocabulary before post testing again.
This week, we wrapped up the first part of Unit 2 which is all about energy. The kids worked on comparing all of the types of energy and they began their energy book project. Next week, we will dive into the force and motion part of our second unit.

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.
