8th Week Tidbits


Curriculum Tidbits:
  • Fifth graders are going to be spending time publishing their personal narratives this week.  It will be a good time to put into practice all of the typing practice we've done!
  • In social studies we will spend time learning about the Columbian exchange.
  • Students did SO WELL on the Unit 1 Bible Test.  Our next unit immerses us into the beginning of Jesus' ministry.  Students will be writing reflections on each story as we go.
  • Our math focus is on decimal place value to the thousandths, equivalent decimals, and comparing decimals.
Other Tidbits:
  • For the first time, physical report cards will not be sent home today.  You should be able to access your fifth grader's report card online via PowerSchool.
  • I look forward to meeting with you at next week's Parent Teacher Conferences.  It's one of my favorite things! See you then!
  • Due to the CEA Convention, school will not be in session this week Thursday (10/21) or Friday (10/22).
