Curriculum Tidbits:
- Psalm 8 is due on Thursday (9/26). Students will complete a fill-in-the-blank unless they would prefer to recite it to me.
- Next week we will begin to plan out our "seed idea" for our memoirs. Ask your fifth grader if they have an idea yet. We did a lot of pre-writing activities and prompts to brainstorm ideas. Our memoirs will focus on one memorable or meaningful event or memory we have.
- We will finish our current read aloud/mentor text Wonder by the end of the week and have the opportunity to compare the book to the movie at the end of the week.
- We have completed our math unit of adding and subtracting fractions. Next week we will spend a few days reviewing the concepts in class in preparation for the math test on Thursday (9/26). (Usually a practice test will go home over a weekend for the students to complete, but because of the timing of our test with days off these first few weeks, we will instead work on it during class.)
- We are nearing the end of our Bible unit and will focus on Jesus being the Living Water with the story of the Samaritan Woman.
- Our social studies time continues to focus on the early English settlements of Roanoke, Jamestown, and Plymouth.
- Even though our week is shortened this week, we will still have spelling words and the test will be moved up to Thursday (9/26).
Other Tidbits:
- The Walk-a-thon will be on Wednesday (9/25) after lunch. You are welcome to join us or just stop by the high school track to encourage all of the students!
- Due to a Professional Development Day for the faculty, we will not have school on Friday (9/27).
