May /June
What's Happening in 5th grade?
Academics
Reader's Workshop
We will be wrapping up our final book clubs next week.
Writer's Workshop
The students' rough drafts are due on Tuesday. We will spend the last week of May revising and editing our informational writing and then will be adding text features into our digital books. Here is the letter which explains this project and includes a calendar and rubric.
Math
We are finishing up our measurement unit and then will move into a unit on growth patterns. We will be working on creating and using tables and graphs to represent growth patterns and creating algebraic equations to represent the growth pattern. When we finish, we will be working on describing, summarizing, comparing and representing data.
Science
The students will be starting their unit on roller coaster physics. Throughout this unit, the students will be learning about forces and Newton's laws of motion. We will be doing a lot of hands-on activities in class, and in the end we will create a marble roller coaster!

Our 13 Colonies Musical will be our Spring Concert! The musical will be performed on June 4th at 1:00 at the CPAC. Please check with your child on what costume they may need for this performance.
