Letters were sent home several weeks ago providing information about the 5th Grade Exhibition Project. We will be working on this project from now until the presentations on May 25th. Students will work in groups based on interest to research a particular problem that exists in society today. Our central idea for the project is: "Survival Requires Interdependence." Each student will be responsible for a part of the essay and the presentation. Students will receive rubrics stating the project standards. The final presentations will take place at school on Friday May 25th from 9:00-10:30am.
Science
We are completing our biome projects and ecosystem unit this week. After spring break we will begin our new IB planner entitled: "Where we are in place and time. The world is your oyster, how will you shape it?" Students will develop their understanding of force , motion, and simple machines that improve or create technology that advance society.
Math
Geometry unit continues. My math class will focus on line and rotational symmetry after spring break. Be sure your child is studying class notes and handouts in order to learn vocabulary terms.
Spelling
We will resume our weekly spelling units after spring break.
