Fifth Grade Families:
Good afternoon!
We have had a WONDERFUL start to our fifth grade year! We are all so excited for what the year is going to bring us. There has already been so much learning happening in the classrooms, goal setting and establish classroom communities. We can tell that the students are going to be hard workers this year, while we take time to also make some fifth grade memories together.

Please feel free to contact us at anytime with any questions or concerns.
Here is the exciting learning that is going on in fifth grade:
Language Arts:
In writing, we will be starting our first unit of study, Narrative Craft. We will begin by having the student generate their ideas from for personal narratives, it can help to think of turning-point moments in their lives. They will be thinking of places that matter to them and the episodes that occurred in those places. The students will learn that in order to write effective narratives, writers re-experience the episodes before writing it, reliving it so that readers will be able to experience it too. The best way to become a great writer is to read what other great authors have written to help give us ideas of how to write our narratives. The students are going to be practicing writing to build our writing stamina!
