Sept.12th-16th 2011

Parents,

I am looking forward to seeing all of you at Open House on Thursday evening. Open House is  a great opportunity for you to hear about the curriculum your child will be learning  during their 5th grade school year.  We will also be providing an intinerary for the DC trip.  Please see the open house schedule below.

This week we are examining non fiction text features as well as working on our Peak vocabulary unit.We will have a vocabulary quiz on Friday.  In math we are continuing place value with an emphasis on ordering and comparing whole numbers and decimals. Students have begun to switch for math based on the math pretests results. Please continue to practice multiplication facts 1-12 with your child.

 Students are creating flip books to learn and practice their landform vocabulary in science. We will be examining some areas of erosion on the playground and discussing the causes.

Thanks so much for checking your students agendas each evening.  I have seen some very creative reading logs this week.

See you Thursday evening. :)
