This will be the last Newsletter of the year. It has been a pleasure working with your children this year. Thank you for all of your support. I hope you have a wonderful summer vacation.
Math- This week in math we will continue our work with fractions. The students will be adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators. They will also be adding and subtracting mixed numbers, and fractions with unlike denominators.
Remember to practice your multiplication and division over the summer. It is so important for continued success in fifth grade. If the kids know their facts, the other concepts are much easier.
Spelling - We will not have a spelling unit this week. All grades are in for spelling.
English - The students will learn about adverbs this week. They will identify adverbs in sentences and recognize if they tell how, when, or where about the verb.
Reading - Our mystery unit will continue. The children have been doing a wonderful job working in their agencies on drawing conclusion and supporting these conclusions with evidence. They did an excellent job of writing stories using their vocabulary words and acting them out.
Social Studies- The students will learn about the Land in the West Region this week. They will identify the largest system of mountains in the United States. The will compare and contrast mountain ranges of the west and tell where they are located. They will also compare geysers to volcanoes.
Science - This week in science the children will learn about the Changes to Earth's Surface. Some of the Essential Questions that we will be studying are: What Are Some of Earth's Landforms? What Causes Change to Earth's Landforms? What are Fossils?
