Fifth Grade Update
CLASSROOM UPDATE
MATH
In math this week we reviewed the steps in division in preparation for our next unit, Decimals and Division. Will start working out of our Go Math workbooks next week. Have a great weekend.
SCIENCE
We had a great week back at school! In science, we talked about gravity, Sir Isaac Newton, his 3 laws of gravity, and what LeBron James has to do with gravity. Make sure to ask your child about LeBron's vertical jump height! Pretty amazing! In social studies, we are wrapping up our unit on explorers.
Social Studies
Next week, we will have a social studies vocabulary quiz on our explorer unit (probably on Tuesday). I will make sure to send an email with the study sheet, so you have it. Students will come home with it as well. We will also have science test on force and motion (probably on Friday). Students will receive a study sheet for this test as well, and I will send it out as an email too.
English Language Arts
In our novel study, Pax, Peter is back on his feet and heading for the area where he last saw Pax. Pax is becoming more comfortable in the wild and we are curious to find out if Peter does find Pax if he will even know him.
We will be holding a spelling Bee in grades 4th - 6th. A list has been sent home with your child that they can study for an end of the week classroom spelling bee. The final spelling bee will be held after school at the end of the month. The words can also be found at the link below.
