5th Grade Mountain Lions
Week of August 23, 2021 - Mrs. Anderson
Week 3 is coming to a close and the 5th Grade is clearly exhibiting all their strengths and talents. Our amazing students have creativity and enthusiasm for learning. In just a few short weeks, the students are developing academic stamina, so necessary to tackle their busy days. We are still learning good study, homework and organizational skills, that will lead to their success. Homework is Monday through Thursday. If we have longer projects, some weekend work will be required. During the week, students are required to bring home their student planner for parent signature and on Fridays, I send home their graded assignments in a special folder. Thank you to everyone for returning the empty graded homework folder: 100% were returned!
If you are not able to access your child's grades on ALMA, please reach out to myself or school administrators for assistance.
Students received their iPads this week, and will bring them home nightly. In order to fully participate in school, they are required to have them charged when they arrive at school. In addition, they will need headphones every day at school. This week and next, I will be sharing with students and parents, digital accounts i.e. Schoology, FIRST in Math, Studies Weekly, and iReady.
Please remember, I value our partnership in your child's education. Your feedback and support is greatly appreciated! If you have any questions, please call or email me.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Anderson

In Studies Weekly, we concluded our unit on the Five Themes of Geography. Students did a Google Earth Scavenger Hunt, using absolute location (longitude and latitude coordinates) to identify famous places. Next week, we will take a journey to Life in the Western Hemisphere spanning from 40,000 years ago up until 1492. Wow! That’s a lot of history to cover!
