5th Grade Literacy Update-2nd Block
March 17, 2015
Social Studies-Multicultural Education
5th graders are taking part in a school-wide Multicultural Fair for students. We were assigned Australia and Antarctica. So, this week during class, we are going to research and create some 3D objects that tell us about these two continents/countries. Be sure to ask your child what they are working on and what they have learned!
We will not do our small groups this week because of the aforementioned project.
