Curriculum Updates:
- Now that testing has been completed, we can resume our normally scheduled routine!
- We "dipped our toes" in learning about the US Constitution for today's Constitution Day. We spend more time learning about it in greater depth later in social studies.
- In writing we will be generating "seed ideas" for our personal narrative.
- Math continues with adding and subtracting fractions with both alike and unlike denominators. Because of the many steps involved, we will be utilizing a "grid" to use in solving each step.
- Our reading teaching points will push us to use a repertoire of strategies to think beyond what the author writes, and to consider what the author isn't telling us and how filling in those gaps adds to our understanding.
- We'll learn about the four Gospel writers before learning about John the Baptist and Jesus' baptism in Bible.
- Our first Reading Minutes slip will be due Monday (9/20) morning!
Other Tidbits:
- Picture Day is scheduled for Thursday, September 23, at 11:20am. Please return your child's picture envelope even if you are choosing to not order pictures.
- Please check with your fifth grader to be sure he/she has a working pair of headphones or ear buds at school. Thanks you!
- Thank you for your support of this week's Walk-a-Thon! We are so grateful!
