Let's get READY to have a GREAT week!
Happy Monday! Another week is starting and we are moving through our curriculum very quickly. We have just completed the WW1 Unit and are moving right into Great Depression as we understand how this set up our society for WW2. Lots of fun info. in this area of history, also a lot of sadness. This is always a favorite part of 5th Grade Social Studies. We will have a project that goes along with WW2 that will be detailed later in this semester. In Math, we have just moved to Volume. We are teaching volume with a few videos from Minecraft and most students are loving it! In Science we are moving into Sum of Parts and in Reading we are working through the book, Bud, Not Buddy! Lots going on in 5th Grade!!!
