Fifth Grade Update
CLASSROOM UPDATE
MATH
In math this week we continued working with decimals in multiplication. We did the following Go Math workbook pages which will be due on Monday, Pg. 249 problems 1-16, Pg. 250 1-6, Pg. 261 1-3 and Page 262 problems 1-6. Will have a test next week over multiplication and decimals. Have a great weekend.
SCIENCE
We learned about non-contact forces this week in science. Students learned about gravitational force, magnetic force, and electrical force. We will continue talking about electrical force this coming week.
Social Studies
We learned about early explorers this week. The students enjoyed taste-testing "hardtack biscuits" and had to decide if they could stand eating those for 3 meals a day for over 90 days. Ask your child about it! I also enjoyed sharing with them about my recent trip to Chicago. I had the opportunity to present at the National Social Studies Conference in Chicago last week and weekend. What an AMAZING opportunity it was! I had fun sharing all that I learned with your children!
