CHILLY FEBRUARY!
Curriculum Tidbits:
- We continue to practice, practice, practice long division with two-digit divisors. There are a lot of steps and it certainly takes some stamina to stick with each problem!
- This short Bible unit containing more stories of Jesus' ministry will wrap up this week.
- Our study of text structures in reading continues with cause & effect and problem solution.
- We'll enjoy a STEM activity building off of cause & effect text structures as do some chain reaction activities in our STEM lab.
- We are in the middle of drafting our informational writing. It takes some skill and planning to weave our research into cohesive paragraphs!
- In Social Studies, we'll finish our "Help Wanted" posters for colonial jobs, and turn our attention to the "Road to the Revolution".
Other Tidbits:
- Sports Day is our fourth and final Wacky Wednesday scheduled for this week Wednesday.
- Post-its, pencils, and expo markers are things that typically could use replenishing right about now. Check with your fifth grader to see if they could use more.
- We had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Eric Forseth, HC Head of Schools, on Thursday! He came to speak to both 5th grade classes about his trips to China - specifically focusing on the persecution of the church in China. The students were spell-bound and fully engaged. (See pics below.)
