Week of January 12- 16

Upcoming Events:

We will have our first DARE lesson (rescheduled) for Thursday. Please feel free to join us for our first lesson, or let Mr.Shepherd or I know if you have any questions or concerns.

Friday we will have GRIT and HEALTH, it seems like a long time since our last lesson in either of these two subjects!

Thursday will be the new first day of the Learn to Ski Program at Pats Peak. Don't forget to bring your warm clothes and ski equipment.

This Week in Fifth Grade:

Writing: We will be working on argument writing, the organization of a five paragraph essay, and choosing new topics to make a claim about and support using reasons and evidence.

Science: We will be completing magnetism centers, and studying for our Electricity and Magnetism test on Monday. Please be looking out for study materials going home.

Social Studies: We are making our final choices about our guides, and will be hitting the trail. Groups will be responsible for completing guide books along their routes.

Math: We are still working on multiplying decimals. The students are working hard on understanding estimating decimals before multiplying to make the multiplication easier.

Reading: We continue to look at facts and details in argument writing and articles.

WIN: Literature circle groups continue to plug away at their books. A few groups are getting close to finishing and moving on to their next book.
