Welcome to 5th Grade

Hello 5th grade families!

We are off to a great start after these first two weeks of school. I am proud of how the students have settled back into the routine of school and following expectations, it's almost like we never left for summer break! 

Our focused learning goals for the month of September are as follows:

1. ELA- Quoting accurately from text when explaining what the text says, citing specific details and examples to support inferences, and understanding the theme the author is trying to convey.

2. Writing- Personal narrative writing and point of view writing.

3. Science- The nature of science, scientific procedures, and scientific questions. Also the solar system, including the planets and their characteristics.

A few reminders:

Make sure your student is in dress code every day. It is also a good idea to make sure your student's name is written on the tags of any clothing or jacket that they may be taking on or off throughout the day. Fifth grade will be heading a project to revamp the lost and found system at our school and we want to make sure we aren't adding to the lost and found with our own misplaced items!

This year we are completing daily assignments in our workbooks which will be torn out and sent home at the completion of the chapter. You will notice that there will be many days in a row that nothing is sent home, that is simply because we haven't reached the end of the chapter yet.

I'm looking forward to a great month of September. Bring on Fall!
