5th Grade 101
Mrs. Harris' Class Newsletter for 1/25/16
What We Learned
In Science we learned about changes to the Earth's surface due to the 3 main agents of weathering and erosion (wind, water, and ice) along with the effects of deposition. We did a really cool lab to show how water specifically causes the most weathering and erosion. We also took a look at land forms that are a direct result of weathering, erosion, and deposition. We ended the week with an indoor Garden Day.
What We Will Be Learning
In Science we will continue talking about Changes to the Earth's surface with a focus on caves, sedimentary rocks, and fossils. I absolutely LOVE what we will are going to get to do this week! Students are going to love an edible lab this week. Please have your child tell me about we will do this week to receive a special treat for reading my newsletter!
