Happy Monday! Here are the things you need to know this week! There is a lot going on as the school year is quickly coming to a close, so please read carefully.
Upcoming Test!
There will be an economics test in social studies tomorrow. The kids have been learning about economics for the past 2 weeks and they have a list of terms taped into their agenda from last week which they are expected to know tomorrow.
Save the Date!
Please mark your calendar! Our class' 5th Grade Recognition will be on Thursday, May 23rd at 9:15am in the cafeteria.
NOMS
All Related Arts selection forms are due no later than this Friday, 4/26. This pink form can be found in the Manila folder your child brought home from the middle school visit last week. It is very important that every child complete one of these. Otherwise, their related arts classes will be chosen for them and they will not get a say.
Earth Day
In honor of Earth Day our school will be hosting activities this Friday to improve our grounds. The 5th graders will be pulling weeds and mulching our flower beds. Please send your child to school on Friday with gardening gloves if you have some and of course, clothes that can get a little dirty. There will also be a tree planted in honor of this awesome crew of 5th graders. To contribute to the tree, please send in a $1 donation.
Relay for Life
As you know, our school is collecting money to fight cancer with Relay for Life. Students who bring a $1 donation this Friday may wear a hat to school. The relay will take place the evening of May 10th at Oldham County High School. My family and I will be there from 7-9pm. Feel free to come out and walk with us.
Lunch with Someone You Love~April 29
Our final book fair is taking place next week and we are hosting our annual Lunch With Someone You Love event. This afternoon, your child will come home a with a form inviting you or a loved one to join them for lunch on Monday, April 29. After lunch loved ones are invited to stay and join our class to shop at our last book fair of the year.
Guest Speaker
Next week, our class will be studying Kentucky and this Friday they will have the opportunity to listen to a guest speaker, a farmer, who is coming to speak about the equine industry in Kentucky. She will even be bringing her horses to show the kids!
Zoo Field Trip~May 21
Please return all Zoo field trip forms as soon as possible. We will need several chaperones as I usually break the class into small groups to tour the zoo. If you are interested in chaperoning, please let me know by checking one of the boxes on the field trip form. In order to walk with a group, you must have completed confidentiality training and a background check.
Social Studies: This week we are wrapping up our Economics unit and reviewing the U.S. regions.
Math: Many children have expressed to me some confusion over fractions, so I am going to review fractions and mixed numbers with the kids this week and next.Word Study: I've noticed many of the kids misuse apostrophes in their writing, so this week I am teaching a unit on singular and plural possessives.
Writing: This week we will continue our ELA unit on coming of age as we read about how our country came of age through the Great Depression and the Civil Rights Movement. Students will also learn to effectively answer reading extended response questions as they read about these topics.
Reading: Students will engage in free reading time and writing reflections while I administer the DRA to each child in class.
