5th Grade Newsletter: October 26, 2015

L

ast week, we are continuing our review of “Minerals and Rocks” in Science to prepare for the chapter test.  We are continuing the second chapter of History on the “Fertile Crescent: Cradle of Civilization.”  Math lessons were on “Halves, Fourths, Tenths,” “Dollars and Parentheses,” and “Listing Factors of Whole Numbers.”  English has been full of peer editing our final chapter of Esperanza Rising, MUG (Mechanics, Usage, and Grammar) on apostrophes, Spelling, and Vocabulary. 

Last week: In Fall Goal Planning Conferences, meeting with the parents to set manageable, and achievable goals was simply a blessing.  Thank you to who volunteered to help make the Carnival a success.  The kids seemed to enjoy the booths, prizes, and fun with friends and family after a successful quarter.  The Scholastic books sales is building our very own class library.  Thank you for donating a book for our minds to read and enjoy!!!

This week: Operation Christmas Child is kicking off.  Come and watch our skits tomorrow, explaining the why and how for OCC in sharing the gift of the Goodnews of Jesus to the lost.

Monday Folders please be find and read about Operation Christmas child, Fall Goal Planning strengths/weaknesses and goals.  Also, their newsletters are in their binders.

Field Trip to Mount Saint Helen’s is on October 30th.  We have all our chaperones.  However, if you would still like to attend, you are welcome but will need to get your background checked and pay the admission fee of $8.  You will need the following for the field trip: comfortable running shoes, water bottle, a clip board, a pencil, snack and a sack lunch!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO!!!

Have a blessed week, Ms. Chang
