State trifolds are look ing amazing. Students can not wait to display at Open House and VIP/ Grandparents' Day this week. I am hoping that all students will be finished with their trifold by this Friday. Students can bring in their shoe box diorama and/or their totem poles that they did at the beginning of the year to display at Open House and VIP/Grandparents' Day for extra credit next week on the 24th.
Students will have their first states, capitals, and locations test on Thursday. The focus is on the West Region.
50 States and Capitals and Locations Test Schedule
All 5th graders are expected to learn the location of each of the 50 states, as well as the capital of each state. Students will focus on small sections of the United States for two-week periods to learn the states and capitals in smaller chunks. We will map out each region together in class so students have a study guide.
Students began with the West region on their maps on Monday, April 8 and will test on the West region from their map Thursday, April 18.
Students will add the Southwest region to their maps on Monday, April 22, then test on the Southwest region on Wednesday, April 24.
Students will add the Midwest region to their maps on Monday, April 29, then test on the Midwest region on Thursday, May 2.

Students will add the fifth and final region, the Northeast, to their maps on Monday, May 13, then test on the Northeast region on May 16.
