Recycled Robot
For an Earth Day science project, please send in CLEAN recyclable materials, such as plastic bottles, empty food boxes, egg cartons, plastic food containers, paper towel tubes, jar lids, etc. (Note: please avoid sending in glass items as they could break. Also, please be mindful of any cans or other metals with sharp edges.)
We can also use some strong tape to hold the robot together.

Reading

Writing
We are embarking on a memoir unit, fitting for this time of year and for 5th graders as they reflect upon elementary school, their identity, and what they've learned in their 10-11 years.
Math
Area and volume are the name of the game. Children should know how to find the area of triangles, rectangles, and parallelograms.
Social Studies
There were many more explorers beyond Christopher Columbus. Ask your child about why explorers came to the Americas, and from what countries.
Science
After our Earth Day project, we will continue exploring STEM activities with Spheros (see our class Twitter page for recent updates), and cap off the year with the marble roller coaster project.
