5th Grade 101
Mrs. Harris' Class Newsletter for 2/15/16
What We Learned
In Science we continued learning about alternative energy resources which are biofuels (biomass), hydropower, wind energy, solar energy and geothermal energy. Students identified each one by its process, pros, and cons. We are working on a booklet that describes each one. We will complete the booklet next week.
What We Will be Learning
In Science we will analyze the alternative energy resources, delve into conservation, and finish up our Geology unit with a unit test on Friday. I will send out review questions throughout the week. Students will review on Thursday as well.
Homework
***I am noticing that students are becoming very relaxed about homework. Please encourage your child to do their very best on homework in order to practice what they are learning in class as well as utilizing resources effectively.***
