MAP Testing
We will begin spring MAP testing this
week with tests on Tuesday and Friday.
Important Dates
Next week is our field trip to
BizTown! Be sure to send your child with
a sack lunch.
WaterSteps
This week the 5th graders
will kick off a service project designed to help raise money for safe drinking
water all over the world. This project
is very simple. Basically, we’re asking
families to send in used shoes. All
types are excepted. These shoes are then
sold to an exporter and funds received help bring clean water to those in need.
Donated shoes will help to fund water
projects and keep tons of waste out of our landfills.
A Look at this Week
ELA: We will begin a new ELA unit this week, entitled Coming of Age. This unit integrates the study of how America has come of age through events such as westward expansion, the Industrial Revolution, and the Great Depression. This week the kids will be reading and writing about Lewis and Clark, the Trail of Tears, Manifest Destiny, and various groups impacted by westward expansion.
Word Study: Our focus this week will be a variety
of skills. First we will begin with learning
how to use a and an appropriately. We
will also review the parts of speech, study synonyms and antonyms, and review
the use of the apostrophe in contractions.
Math: During math this week, we will be learning about
geometry! We will learn how to identify
and measure angles, triangles, and polygons.
Social Studies: We will continue preparations
for our trip to BizTown. This week the kids will continue learning how to
use checking and savings accounts. They
will also learn how to apply for a job, and how to start up a business. This week the kids will also receive the job
assignments for their BizTown careers!
Have a lovely week and enjoy this beautiful weather! :o)
