Parent Portal
As the school year begins winding down, please keep up to date with your child's grades. I remind them frequently about missing assignments and opportunities for corrections. Let's finish strong! They are almost sixth graders :)
Reading
We started reading Tuck Everlasting today. The imagery is strong in this book and it will a more difficult read than Zane and the Hurricane. We will be attempting to read two chapters a day. Please ask your child about the novel and have them tell you what they read each day. This will help with their reading recall, summarizing skills and comprehension.
Math
Due to reviewing our math tests over Geometry, we will begin our new chapter on ratio, proportion and percents on Tuesday.
Family Life
Next week we will begin talking about parenthood as a vocation.
Northeast Region
We are continuing our work on the Northeast region. Their books are coming along and should be finished soon. They really enjoy learning about different landmarks and attractions in each state. We will have a test on Friday over the states and capitals. Please have your student start studying now!
Student teacher of the day
We had five fifth graders participate in being a teacher for the day! Both fifth grades were led by classmates, one served as librarian, one taught junior high math and one was principal for the day! They all did a great job and had a lot of fun!
