5th Grade News

As we enter this last week before our fall break we just want you to know how thankful and blessed we are to be a part of your child's life. Thank you for sharing them with us. Their smiles, funny stories, hard work, and more make every minute worth it!!! We hope your break is restful, full of family time and reasons to be thankful. As always we are here for you.

Focus of the Week

ELAR - I can analyze elements in traditional literature.

MATH - I can find area, perimeter, and volume of a given shape.

SCIENCE - I can recognize how landforms such as deltas, canyons and sand dunes are a result of changes to Earth's surface by wind, water, and ice.

SOCIAL STUDIES - I can explain how industry and mechanization of agriculture changed the American way of life, and explain how supply and demand affects consumers in our Country.

***IMPORTANT NOTICE***

If your student will be out for an extended period of time please let us know so that we can gather a work packet so that your student does not fall too far behind.

Mighty Hawks Band Performance

Our 5th graders have been invited to the Billy Goodloe Stadium on Friday, November 19th at 10am to see the Mighty Hawks Band Perform. We are very excited about this opportunity. In order for your child to attend they must have a signed permission slip.
