5th grade Science is deep into the study of weather and climate. We have done a lot of reading related to meteorology and how scientists gather their data to make predictions on the weather. We have some aspiring meteorologists!

Reminders...

Wow, time is flying by us! In reading we are still in our informational text unit. We are working on knowing the difference between fiction and nonfiction texts and learning all about the different characteristics of each genre. This week we've been reading more biographical books which I think the students are enjoying a bit more!
In Social Studies we are wrapping up our week learning about the difference between industry and agriculture at the start of the Industrial Revolution.
A few reminders:
- Spelling words go home today! Spelling test will be next Thursday, 01/27/22. Please have them practice every night.
- Please have your child on time to school every day. We have an important test coming up and every minute counts.
- Please be sure to have your child read every night at least 20 minutes. We want as many students as possible reaching their AR goals!
